dirent: Deprecate getdirentriesazanella/bz23960
The interface has some issues: 1. It is build on top getdents on Linux and requires handling non-LFS call using LFS getdents. 2. It is not wildly used and the non-LFS support is as problematic as non-LFS readdir. glibc only exports the LFS getdents. 3. It is not a direct replacement over BSD since on some plataform its signature has changed (FreeBSD 11, for instance, used to set the offset as a 'long' and changed to 'off_t' on version 12). The idea is to eventually move the symbols to compat ones.
