 While documenting the hooks in `formatting.php` (#25518) I noticed
 `format_to_post` which is unused except for 25 or so plugins in the repo.
 The description is generic, and useless.

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 admin/post.php?rev=846#L46 WAY back in the day]  it seems it was used to
 add slashes before stuff got put into the database.

 After asking around, I think we should deprecate it.
