Add guidance for deprecations that impact WebView APIs

This change updates the "Deprecations" section to include
how to deprecate APIs that change the behavior of WebView APIs.
This is an action item[0] that came from developing a plan
with the Android & WebView team on defining proper process for
this when trying to deprecate the WebSQL API.
