Description

MultiTermAwareComponent is one of several hundred classes tagged as @lucene.experimental i.e. it is understood that it might change in incompatible ways in the next release. Since in this case it is specifically known from LUCENE-8497 that the class is removed in 8.0 onwards I think it would be nice to mark it as deprecated, sign-posting readers to replacement details. Proposed patch to follow.
