Deprecate "devicemapper" storage driver, and add warning

The `devicemapper` storage driver is deprecated in favor of `overlay2`, and will
be removed in a future release. Users of the `devicemapper` storage driver are
recommended to migrate to a different storage driver, such as `overlay2`, which
is now the default storage driver.

The `devicemapper` storage driver facilitates running Docker on older (3.x) kernels
that have no support for other storage drivers (such as overlay2, or AUFS).

Now that support for `overlay2` is added to all supported distros (as they are
either on kernel 4.x, or have support for multiple lowerdirs backported), there
is no reason to continue maintenance of the `devicemapper` storage driver.
