Change default deprecation logger level to CRITICAL backport(#77030) (#77482)

This commit changes default deprecation logger level to CRITICAL, where default means deprecations emitted by DeprecationLogger#critical method.
It also introduces WARN deprecations which are emitted by DeprecationLogger#warn Those log lines emitted at WARN are meant to indicate that a functionality is deprecated but will not break at next major version.
relates #76754
