deprecation_stream

Define a custom output stream for warning about deprecations (default $stderr).

RSpec.configure {|c| c.deprecation_stream = File.open('deprecations.txt', 'w') }

or

RSpec.configure {|c| c.deprecation_stream = 'deprecations.txt' }

Background
Given
a file named "lib/foo.rb" with: 
class Foo
  def bar
    RSpec.deprecate "Foo#bar"
  end
end
Scenarios
  1. default - print deprecations to $stderr
  2. configure using the path to a file
  3. configure using a File object
default - print deprecations to $stderr
Given
a file named "spec/example_spec.rb" with: 
require "foo"
describe "calling a deprecated method" do
  example { Foo.new.bar }
end
When
I run rspec spec/example_spec.rb
Then
the output should contain "DEPRECATION: Foo#bar is deprecated"
configure using the path to a file
Given
a file named "spec/example_spec.rb" with: 
require "foo"
RSpec.configure {|c| c.deprecation_stream = 'deprecations.txt' }
describe "calling a deprecated method" do
  example { Foo.new.bar }
end
When
I run rspec spec/example_spec.rb
Then
the output should not contain "DEPRECATION"
But
the output should contain "1 deprecation logged to deprecations.txt"
And
the file "deprecations.txt" should contain "Foo#bar is deprecated"
configure using a File object
Given
a file named "spec/example_spec.rb" with: 
require "foo"
RSpec.configure {|c| c.deprecation_stream = File.open('deprecations.txt', 'w') }
describe "calling a deprecated method" do
  example { Foo.new.bar }
end
When
I run rspec spec/example_spec.rb
Then
the output should not contain "DEPRECATION"
But
