[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Filter Lua deprecation warnings based on the originating rpm version (PR #3270)

> the point is that we need to warn on _all new usages_ of these functions to scare people away from using them.

Unfortunately this is working too good at scaring people. End-users could not fully understand if this is a package maintainer issue, an RPM bug, a DNF bug, a Fedora bug or their own fault. Very essential packages  [such as libgcc](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gcc/blob/rawhide/f/gcc.spec#_2429) are still  using posix.fork, .execute, etc. Here (Qubes OS), some users are scared to upgrade to Fedora 41 templates and prefer to stick with Fedora 40 while it is supported.

Maybe instead of [this line](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/3270/files#diff-08a5b8f8eace58db333cc92adc4c18a0f875c2f953101c6152b632287510430cR1384), we could have something like:
```c
    "warning: %s(): .fork(), .exec(), .wait() and .redirect2null() are deprecated, package maintainer should use rpm.spawn() or rpm.execute() instead\n", func);
```
