[PATCH v2 1/2] tests/acceptance: introduce new check-avocado tartget

This introduces a new `make` target, `check-avocado`, and adds a
deprecation message about the `check-acceptance` target. This is
a preparation for renaming the `tests/acceptance` folder to
 `tests/avocado`.

The plan is to remove the call to the `check-avocado` target one
or two months after the release and leave the warning to force
people to move to the new `check-avocado` target.

Later, the `check-acceptance` target can be removed. The intent
is to avoid a direct impact during the current soft freeze.

+Renaming of the acceptance folder to avocado
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The ``tests/acceptance`` folder was never used to store acceptance tests
+in terms of software engineering. This naming can confuse developers
+adding tests using the Avocado Framework to this folder. The folder
+name change to ``tests/avocado`` also changed the ``make`` target from
+``check-acceptance`` to ``check-avocado``. In this case, the use of the
+``check-acceptance`` target is deprecated.
