Description

CQLSSTableWriter is a nicer to use alternative to SSTableSimpleWriter and SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter, so it doesn't particularly make sense to support both version forever. It also happens that supporting the latter writers would requires a bit of work for CASSANDRA-8099, so maybe 3.0 is not a bad time to remove those. But if we agree on that, we should deprecate them in 2.0 so people have time to migrate to CQLSSTableWriter if needed.

More specifically, I'm talking here of adding a @Deprecated on the 2 classes and to add a note to the NEWS file.
