Scripts: Mark the LZMA Utils script aliases as deprecated

Browse Source 
The deprecated aliases are lzcmp, lzdiff, lzless, lzmore,
lzgrep, lzegrep, and lzfgrep. The commands that start with
the xz prefix have identical behavior, for example, both
lzgrep and xzgrep handle all supported file formats.

This doesn't affect lzma, unlzma, lzcat, lzmadec, or lzmainfo.
The last release of LZMA Utils was made in 2008, but the lzma
compatibility alias for the gzip-like tool is still in common use.
Deprecating it would cause unnecessary breakage.
