Since commit 5f117c3 (webkit: mark as deprecated), generation of the
manual has been broken.
This is because that commit added a deprecated dependency on a
prompt-less symbol, BR2_PACKAGE_WEBKIT_ARCH_SUPPORTS. However, the
generation script does not check that a symbol has a prompt before
it attempts to add it to the deprecated list. So, we end up with
traceback:
Writing the virtual-packages list in:

However, we can not use the existing _is_deprecated filter function to
filter out symbols without prompts, because this function is also used
to add a '(deprecated)' tag in the man package list (not that it would
not work, but it does not seem /right/). Furthermore, it could also be
used (but is currently not) to build the list of virtual packages, which
do not have a prompt.
So, introduce a filter function, aptly named _is_deprecated_feature(),
to be used as the filter to find deprecated feature, and keep the
existing _is_deprecated() that can be used in any context to decide
whether a symbol is deprecated or not.
