Deprecation and removal for 8.17

See  #14186

I think for each of those warning we should:

1) Open an issue for removal, and update the corresponding warnings text to point to the corresponding issue.

 """DEPRECATED: Input handling and transformation machinery.
 
 This module was deprecated in IPython 7.0, in favour of inputtransformer2.
 
 The first class in this module, :class:`InputSplitter`, is designed to tell when
 input from a line-oriented frontend is complete and should be executed, and when
 the user should be prompted for another line of code instead. The name 'input
 splitter' is largely for historical reasons.
 
 A companion, :class:`IPythonInputSplitter`, provides the same functionality but
 with full support for the extended IPython syntax (magics, system calls, etc).
 The code to actually do these transformations is in :mod:`IPython.core.inputtransformer`.
 :class:`IPythonInputSplitter` feeds the raw code to the transformers in order
 and stores the results.
 
 For more details, see the class docstrings below.
