Description

windows_timer_interval was removed from Config in CASSANDRA-16956

Considering trunk is still considered to be released 4.1 and not 5, we need to deprecate this parameter with a note in NEWS.txt that it is just a placeholder, to prevent breaking upgrades.

When we bump to 5.0, we can revise this decision again.
