ui: deprecate use of SDL 1.2 in favour of 2.0 series
The SDL 2.0 release was made in Aug, 2013:
https://www.libsdl.org/release/
That will soon be 4 + 1/2 years ago, which is enough time to consider
the 2.0 series widely supported.
Thus we deprecate the SDL 1.2 support, which will allow us to delete it
in the last release of 2018. By this time, SDL 2.0 will be more than 5
years old.

It is thus able to be removed in the 3.1.0 release.
At least one of the BSD VMs in tests/vm/ is still using SDL1.2.
I think we should update that VM before we drop SDL1.2 support.
(This is probably just a matter of updating the VM image that
is currently stored on patchew somewhere. It would also be
nice if our test infra here had a mechanism for regenerating
that VM image from scratch rather than just being "here's a
disk image blob...")
