git: add `deprecated` category to --list-cmds

With 145 builtin commands (according to `git --list-cmds=builtins`),
users are probably not keeping on top of which ones (if any) are
deprecated.

Let’s expand the experimental `--list-cmds`[1] to allow users and
programs to query for this information.  We will also use this in an
upcoming commit to implement `is_deprecated_command`.

[1]: Using something which is experimental to query for deprecations is
    perhaps not the most ideal approach, but it is simple to implement
    and better than having to scan the documentation
