Title: Deprecate Downloads API

The [Downloads API](http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/downloads/) has been officially deprecated since we said "[Goodbye, Uploads](https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads)".

This adds documentation for that deprecation.

An alert has been added to the Downloads API page:

And the appropriate deprecations have been added to the Deprecations list:

Related to this, today I also updated the [blog post](https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads) announcing this deprecation, to change the originally planned "disabled in 90 days" to "disabled at a future date".
