Testing Instructions:
1. Copy the attached mdl67667.php into your moodle root
2. Run it
  1. Confirm you were shown notices that the methods are deprecated

The is_blocking concept in the Task API has never really received much interest. The current and original implementation since 2.7 is buggy so it doesn't actually block correctly at all at scale (see ~~MDL-67597~~). It's also the root cause of scaling issues (mostly mitigated in ~~MDL-67486~~)

So proposing to deprecate this completely.
