Deprecate mkdir_pr, replace uses with FileUtils.mkdir_p

mkdir_pr is equivalent to a FileUtils.mkdir_p invoked with an array of
directories to create. This commit deprecates the mkdir_pr utility
method, and replaces all current invocations to use the FileUtils method
instead. The method itself is updated to pass its args directly to
mkdir_p instead of looping over them, as mkdir_p can handle a list of
directories.
Deprecate ln, update calls to use FileUtils.ln

The utility ln method provided by packaging does very little to augment
the FileUtils version. Our utility reverses the arguments and passes
some options. This commit updates any current calls to ln to use
FileUtils.ln and pass in the force and verbose flags, as is already
done. In tests, it looks as though the utility method is never invoked,
probably because of how rake requires and includes FileUtils. It also
deprecates the utility method, for future removal.
Deprecate ln_sfT

No tasks or methods currently use the ln_sfT method, so this commit adds
a deprecation for it, paving the way for a future removal of the method.
