fix the import cycle between log and versionutils

Registered by Doug Hellmann

There is a circular dependency between versionutils and the logging code. To break it, we have a few options:

We could move the LogAdapter.deprecated() method to a function in versionutils with the other deprecation-related code. That means moving the 'fatal_deprecations' configuration option, and updating all callers.

We could also change the implementation of the deprecated() decorator in versionutils to not call LOG.deprecated(). That might mean duplicating the logic from LOG.deprecated().

We could also move most of the body of LOG.deprecated() to versionutils but keep the method. This limits the number of changes we have to make in the callers, but means that oslo.log depends on oslo.versionutils. We can eliminate the circular dependency by having the function in versionutils use python's standard logger instead of oslo.log.

I like option 3. - dhellmann
