Deprecate legacy overlay storage driver, and add warning

The `overlay` storage driver is deprecated in favor of the `overlay2` storage
driver, which has all the benefits of `overlay`, without its limitations (excessive
inode consumption). The legacy `overlay` storage driver will be removed in a future
release. Users of the `overlay` storage driver should migrate to the `overlay2`
storage driver.

The legacy `overlay` storage driver allowed using overlayFS-backed filesystems
on pre 4.x kernels. Now that all supported distributions are able to run `overlay2`
(as they are either on kernel 4.x, or have support for multiple lowerdirs
backported), there is no reason to keep maintaining the `overlay` storage driver.
