The method was added with migration of resources in mind (e.g. process's allocated memory will follow it to the new scope), however, such a resource migration is not in cgroup semantics. The method may thus have the intended users and others could be guided to StartTransientUnit(). Since this API was advertised in a regular release, start the removal with a deprecation message to callers. Eventually, the goal is to remove the method to clean up DBus API and simplify code (removal of cgroup_context_copy()). Part of DBus docs is retained to satisfy build checks.
