md: deprecate bitmap file support
The support for bitmaps on files is a very bad idea abusing various kernel
APIs, and fundamentally requires the file to not be on the actual array
without a way to check that this is actually the case. Add a deprecation
warning to see if we might be able to eventually drop it.
