This expands the deprecation message that started to pop up in v11.0.3
after the landing of commit e148382bd0c6ba5c442fd6fa8c95f957205b5d01,
that deprecated the `{[key: string]: any}` type for the options property of the `FormBuilder.group` method.
It turns out that having a custom validator declared as
`{ validators: (group: FormGroup) => ValidationErrors|null }` works in practice,
but is now inferred by TS as the deprecated version of `group`
(because `FormGroup` is a subclass of `AbstractControl` that `ValidatorFn` expects).
We considered the possibility of tweaking the forms API to accept such validators,
but it turns out to generate too many changes in the framework or possible breaking changes for Angular users.
We settled for a more explicit deprecation message, elaborated with the help of @petebacondarwin.
This will hopefully help developers to understand why the deprecation warning is showing up
when they think they are already using the non-deprecated overload.

DEPRECATION:
Mark the {[key: string]: any} type for the options property of the FormBuilder.group method as deprecated.
Using AbstractControlOptions gives the same functionality and is type-safe.

This change helps highlight certain misoptimizations with Closure
compiler. It is also stylistically preferable to consistently use index
access on index sig types.
Roughly, when one sees '.foo' they know it is always checked for typos
in the prop name by the type system (unless 'any'), while "['foo']" is
always not.
Once all angular repos are conforming this will become a tsetse.info
check, enforced by bazel.
