Setting python.experiments.optInto gives confusing hover information #15635

Issue Type: Bug

This is a minor issue, but when opening settings.json, the "python.experiments.optInto" has the following hover text:

"List of experiment to opt into. If empty, user is assigned the default experiment groups. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/Experiments for more details."

That page (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/Experiments) has a large title indicating that it's deprecated.

Overal, it's confusing whether it's possible to opt in/out of experiments, and if experiments set with that setting are deprecated, that hover message should probably be updated to show this information.
