Check for deprecated function args

[khacoder]

[New sniff] Check for deprecated function arguments and issue Error if found.

Rule type:

Error

Rule:

Use WordPress functionality and features first, if available. Use *_url() template tags, rather than bloginfo() equivalents.

Ref: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/#core-functionality-and-features

ERROR | Check for usage of deprecated WP functions and provide alternative based on the parameter passed. For details, see Theme-Check plugin - /checks/more_deprecated.php We could probably extend an existing sniff of similar ilk for this or even combine this with the other deprecated checks.

Theme check file covering this rule:

https://github.com/Otto42/theme-check/blob/master/checks/more_deprecated.php

To do:

• [ ] Create unit tests
• [ ] Create new sniff
• [ ] Adjust existing WPCS / PHPCS sniff and send in PR upstream.
• [ ] Add existing sniffname sniff to the ruleset.

I have this sniff ready to go and will upload after final testing.
