[PATCH] core: Move OSMO_DEPRECATED to new core/defs.h file

[Jacob Erlbeck]

Add a new core/defs.h file for definitions that can be used from
within header files without including prototypes and extern
declarations. It's primarily meant for macro definitions and basic
typedefs.

Move the definition of OSMO_DEPRECATED there and use compiler version
info to avoid compiler errors.
