Deprecate @turf/idw ?

[stebogit]

Since we implemented the new @turf/interpolate, which uses the same Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method algorithm and can output different types of grids, we should probably deprecate @turf/idw.
Ref #832 (comment).

I'd suggest however a performance tune of interpolate, which seems to be a little slower than idw, probably due to the use of featureEach.

Maybe we could add now a warning message like we did for @turf/clusters #846

👍 Sounds like a plan!

You need to use npm to deprecate a module, more info here:
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/deprecate

However you would need npm publishing rights to do that.
