Revive ArviZ aliases, but raise DeprecationWarning on old wrappers

Also see pymc-devs#4536 where the wrappers were brought back for v3.

Closes pymc-devs#4528

 ## PyMC3 vNext (4.0.0)
 ### Breaking Changes
 - ⚠ Theano-PyMC has been replaced with Aesara, so all external references to `theano`, `tt`, and `pymc3.theanof` need to be replaced with `aesara`, `aet`, and `pymc3.aesaraf` (see [4471](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/pull/4471)).
+- ArviZ `plots` and `stats` *wrappers* were removed. The functions are now just available by their original names (see [#4549](https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/pull/4471) and `3.11.2` release notes).
+- ...
 
 ### New Features
 - The `CAR` distribution has been added to allow for use of conditional autoregressions which often are used in spatial and network models.
