 All errors triggers should be classified with the appropriate error level.

 Most notably, the
 `_deprecated_function()`/`_deprecated_constructor()`/`_deprecated_file()`/`_deprecated_argument()`/`_doing_it_wrong()`
 function do not pass an appropriate error level to `trigger_error()`.

 For the deprecated function group, the most appropriate level seems to be
 `E_USER_DEPRECATED` which was introduced in PHP 5.3.0.

 For `_doing_it_wrong()` an `E_USER_NOTICE` (or `E_USER_WARNING`) seems
 more appropriate.

 Fixed in the accompanying patch.

 For backward compatibility with PHP 5.2, a define for `E_USER_DEPRECATED`
 has been added to `wp-includes/compat.php` which follows the same logic as
 used in SimplePie for consistency:
