gh-36394: Deprecate the backslash operator Deprecate the backslash operator. <!-- ^^^^^ Please provide a concise, informative and self-explanatory title. Don't put issue numbers in there, do this in the PR body below. For example, instead of "Fixes #1234" use "Introduce new method to calculate 1+1" --> Deprecate the backslash operator: it is underused and its current implementation conflicts with standard Python usage of `\`. A [poll on sage-devel ](https://groups.google.com/g/sage- devel/c/8G-tPMdtNX4/m/tRCfUVHiCAAJ) supports this decision. <!-- Describe your changes here in detail --> The backslash operator is only used in a few places, mainly matrices and matroids; those uses are deprecated. <!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? --> <!-- If this PR resolves an open issue, please link to it here. For example "Fixes #12345". --> <!-- If your change requires a documentation PR, please link it appropriately. --> ### :memo: Checklist <!-- Put an `x` in all the boxes that apply. --> <!-- If your change requires a documentation PR, please link it appropriately --> <!-- If you're unsure about any of these, don't hesitate to ask.
