Description
With TIMOB-19580 we've implemented
activity*Transition for Ti.UI.Window. This makes activity*Animation for Ti.UI.Window.open|close() obsolete.
Because these cause confusion we should deprecate and remove them asap.
Also take note of TIMOB-20451.

We can't deprecate the activity animation APIs yet. This is because the new activity transition APIs are only supported on Android 5.0 and newer OS versions, but Titanium still supports Android 4.x. So, a developer still needs to use the animation APIs for (mostly) consistent activity support between all Android OS versions. So, we can't deprecate this API until one of the following happens: * We replicate support for "activityEnterAnimation" and "activityExitAnimation" on Android 4.x. [TIMOB-24650] (Recommended) * We change Titanium's min supported OS to Android 5.0. (Won't happen any time soon.)
Moving out of 6.1.0, thanks!
