Description

With the improvement of the API provided by the org.apache.sling.scripting.javascript bundle, the asynchronous promise-based API provided by the Sightly JS Use Provider bundle is redundant.

Deprecating the API together with conditionally loading the support for it only when detecting that a Use object actually needs the API namespaces should help in optimising the execution speed for JavaScript Use objects.
