Deprecate legacy provider interface#6337

Conversation
In the 0.16.0 release we added a new versioned providers interface that included a V1 version of the Backend, Job, and Provider classes. Since then we've updated and unified almost all of the providers that exist to use the current interface. Having everything use the new interface means that we're now able to both evolve the interface in a controlled manner uniformly and also deprecate the legacy interface to signal to any other providers out there (especially those we don't maintain) that we'll only be supporting the versioned interface moving forward.

Summary
In the 0.16.0 release we added a new versioned providers interface that
included a V1 version of the Backend, Job, and Provider classes. Since
then we've updated and unified almost all of the providers that exist to
use the current interface. Having everything use the new interface means
that we're now able to both evolve the interface in a controlled manner
uniformly and also deprecate the legacy interface to signal to any other
providers out there (especially those we don't maintain) that we'll only
be supporting the versioned interface moving forward.
