Document that pre-expansion lint passes are softly deprecated

The pre-expansion lint pass has been softly deprecated since rust-lang#69838. Every once in a while I see someone mention it as a possibility, only get the feedback that it's deprecated. This PR officially documents that the method is soft deprecated to have a single point of truth for it.

That's it. Have a great rest of the day 🙃
