Title: Deprecating Google v2

Although Google's 3-year deprecation policy means that v2 won't actually disappear until May 2013, can I suggest that the OpenLayers.Layer.Google.v2 object be moved into its own file and marked as deprecated (by Google, not OL).

Those wanting to use v2 can continue to do so until Google removes it by including it in their build, and those of us who only use v3 have a smaller build.
