Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin#2294: Deprecate `Script::is_provably_unspendable`

089ce8f0fb Deprecate `Script::is_provably_unspendable` (Martin Habovstiak)

Pull request description:

  This method is not really that useful because it checked an arbitrary condition. There already exists `OP_RETURN` semantics and the method didn't cover all possible ways the script may be invalid.

  This deprecates the method and documents why.

  Closes #2191
