Deprecations

ConsoleReporter as part of Jasmine core

The Console Reporter exists nearly entirely for the old manner of running Jasmine’s own specs in node.js. As we are now supporting node.js officially, this reporter code no longer needs to be in this repo and instead will be in the Jasmine npm.

For now you will see a deprecation message. It will be removed entirely in Jasmine 3.0.
