Deprecate hook_file_validate() API docs

Nice find ++

We did deprecate hook_file_validate - we currently trigger it like

$errors = array_merge($errors, $this->moduleHandler->invokeAllDeprecated('Use file validation events instead. See https://www.drupal.org/node/3363700', 'file_validate', [$file]));

the issue removing the deprecated code is removing that line so it should also be responsible for removing it from file.api.php.

See also the CR that clearly says the hook is deprecated - https://www.drupal.org/node/3363700 → - and was probably written by @kim.pepper :)

Ah yes. But we also should have deprecated the hook in file.api.php docblock according to https://www.drupal.org/about/core/policies/core-change-policies/drupal-d... →

Created a MR to show what I mean.

Let's commit this to 10.3.x and 10.2.x then :)

Committed/pushed to 10.3.x and cherry-picked to 10.2.x, thanks!

Cherry-picked to 11.x because 📌 PP-1: Removed deprecated code in File module (core/module/file) Postponed got reverted for now and will need to be reworked prior to it going in again.
