Description

Since maven-checkstyle upgrade it's default version of checkstyle, the Checkstyle team is hoping that we can replace the use of deprecated methods. This replaces deprecated methods with their newer replacements.
These methods have been deprecated since probably 8.2 but can't be removed from main repo because the plugin still uses them and this would break Checkstyle team's own CI which relies on the plugin.

This change would break backward compatibility in the plugin as these methods only came around at 8.2.
