I see no reason to deprecate it per se.  I was planning to just define
it as equivalent to PQinitSecure(do_init, do_init).

BTW, unless someone objects I'd like to make the name of that function
PQinitSecurity.  The other looks like it's implying that it is replacing
an insecure PQinit() function ...
