Add origin filter to WConf, DeprecationWarning (#21404)

The `origin` parameter to `deprecationWarning` is optional; the
parameter to `DeprecationWarning` is not.

The `origin` of a deprecation is simply the deprecated symbol. The full
name is matched by the regex specified by `-Wconf`.

The other important use case is the `origin` of an unused element, in
particular, the selector which causes an "unused import" warning. That
use case will be supported in a follow-up PR, and should work as in
Scala 2.

Fixes #17538
