This change disables new uses of the percent and percent_visited strategies and also introduces the new aliases percent_deprecated and percent_visited_deprecated.
The goal is to switch all current uses of the percent based strategies over to the *deprecated alias names after this change goes out. This will enable us to follow up with another commit that corrects the implementation of the percent based strategies without affecting the set of users that are exposed to the deprecated implementation of the strategies.
We hope to re-implement the percent based strategies in a way that can be used safely with experiment analysis. The current implemention tends to distribute features using the percent based strategies over the same subsets of users making it difficult to draw conclusions from the results of the analysis of those features.
Note that my editor strips trailing whitespace. Not sure what people think about that yet ;).
@mcharkov it would be great to get you to review this.
Testing:
I wrote new specs and verified that all specs passed
