Deprecate $wgContentHandlerUseDB

This was a "wait for DB schema change" feature flag that stuck around
for far too long.

Also of note is that setting $wgMultiContentRevisionSchemaMigrationStage
above SCHEMA_COMPAT_OLD, which has been the default since MW 1.32, will
already raise an exception if this is false.
