Add deprecation warning in ParseAndCatchTests

Browse Source 
Parsing C++ with regex in CMake is error prone and regularly leads to silently
dropped (not run) test cases.

Going forward the function `catch_discover_tests` from `contrib/CMake.cmake`
should be used.

⚠ This script is [deprecated](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/pull/2120)

See [#2092](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/issues/2092) for details.
`ParseAndAddCatchTests` works by parsing all implementation files
associated with the provided target, and registering them via CTest's
`add_test`. This approach has some limitations, such as the fact that
commented-out tests will be registered anyway.
commented-out tests will be registered anyway. More serious, only a
subset of the assertion macros currently available in Catch can be
detected by this script and tests with any macros that cannot be
parsed are *silently ignored*.

### `ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake`
The CMake/CTest integration using `ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake` is deprecated,
as it can be replaced by `Catch.cmake` that provides the function
`catch_discover_tests` to get tests directly from a CMake target via the
command line interface instead of parsing C++ code with regular expressions.
