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...")
Oh, I can no idea the images used SDL1, because they're totally opaque to our git repo :-( Just an external blob with no info about how they were built. Preferrably we'd at least have a manifest for their contents in git, even better if there's something to automate building them. According to repology.org/metapackage/sdl2/versions all the *BSDs have SDL2 available to use at least.
