Summary: Deprecate modules

Initial Comment:
The following modules should be marked as deprecated
because the new email package provides all the
functionality (using different APIs perhaps, and it
steals some implementation from rfc822.py, but still...)

rfc822.py
mimetools.py
MIMEWriter.py

Technically mimify.py should be deprecated too, however
the email package doesn't provide the run-as-script
functionality.  That would be easy to provide as a
Tools/script, so I still think it should be deprecated.

After discussion with Guido, this appears to be too
agressive a deprecation schedule for these modules,
especially rfc822.  A good first step would be to
demonstrate that all uses of these modules can use the email
package.  Perhaps implementations of these modules should be
made using the facilities of the email package?

(Don't check them into the library yet; perhaps add them to
nondist/sandbox/Lib/ first.)
