Subject: [PATCH] Deprecation warning when creating interval patterns

Since wildcard index patterns now get the same performance optimizations
that interval patterns traditionally received while being more flexible
overall, interval based index patterns are no longer needed. For now, we
simply present users with a notice that interval-based patterns are now
deprecated, though we don't stop them from creating them.
