Allow for register_engine without deprecation #345

Frustratingly you may need to use both register_engine to get the behavior your want in Sprockets 3 even if you're using the new API (i.e. register_transformer etc.). I think this is because the different APIs have a different backend but I haven't looked into it enough to know exactly why they diverged.

Here's a PR that shows the problem: sass/sassc-rails#65

If you only call register_transformer then the Sprockets 3 tests will fail. I think this is because the processor built into lib/sprockets.rb and registered via register_engine still gets executed. By registering the sassc processor again with register_engine we're writing over the built in processor to ensure ours takes priority. I'm not 100% on this cause but it seems reasonable.

This PR introduces a way to silence the deprecation for register_engine so that libraries that still need the register_engine API to function correctly (such as sassc-rails) can operate without deprecations. This is an opt-in flag, we assume if you use the flag that you're aware of the new API and have updated your library appropriately.

After this PR I'm going to change the docs to show how to use both register_transformer and register_engine at the same time.

Looks good to me.

This is not related to the pull request but why would you need sassc-rails with sprockets 4? sassc-rails is supposed to be included in sprockets 4.

Sassc support is broken right now. Couldn't get it working on codetriage. Will have to work on a fix.

@schneems Maybe I'm repeating the same question with @rails-bot's one above, but are you sure you wanted to put this warning in 3.7.0?

Since rails 5.0.0's default generated Gemfile bundles sass-rails '~> 5.0' which depends on sprockets '>= 2.8', '< 4.0', every newbie who performs rails new, even a Rails Girl who firstly touches Rails tomorrow in Tokyo, sees this DEPRECATION WARNING message on their console now. 🙈 🙈 🙈

It is being fixed in sass-rails.

I see. Thanks! ❤️

The fixes are taking longer than expected due to the 5-0-stable having existing failing tests that are taking a long time to fix.

Also didn't see that sprockets 2.x register_engine has a different method signature :(

def register_engine(ext, klass)
  ext = Sprockets::Utils.normalize_extension(ext)
  @engines[ext] = klass
end

Not sure how to reconcile that second one.
