[PATCH] base.bbclass: Deprecate the PRINC logic

[Richard Purdie]

The PRINC logic is now deprecated, the PR server should be used to handle
the automatic incrementing of the PR (package release) field.  Add a warning 
message to alert users to the change. The functionality will be removed
in the next release cycle.
