Deprecate automatic histogram method for removal.

[anuraaga]

As discussed at the SIG, we don't see a way to actually change the histogram that is returned by this method in the future, in which case it currently overlaps with explicitBucketsHistogram, and constrains us if we do end up wanting to encourage a different one, such as exponential, as the de-facto.

approved, but should we wait on some commentary from spec folks before merging?

[anuraaga]

I suspect it's worth removing now and adding back later if for some reason it survives the spec but either works.
