gnrc/sixlowpan: add deprecation note for GNRC_SIXLOWPAN_FRAG_RBUF_AGGRESSIVE_OVERRIDE (#13129)

By @PeterKietzmann

When migrating configurations to Kconfig in #13123 we found that GNRC_SIXLOWPAN_FRAG_RBUF_AGGRESSIVE_OVERRIDE is a simple on/off switch which should be represented as a boolean. In Kconfig, a symbol is defined when enabled and it is not generated at all when disabled. In the latter case, the value would be set anyway in the config file :

#ifndef GNRC_SIXLOWPAN_FRAG_RBUF_AGGRESSIVE_OVERRIDE
#define GNRC_SIXLOWPAN_FRAG_RBUF_AGGRESSIVE_OVERRIDE    (1)
#endif

Offline we agreed with @jia200x and @leandrolanzieri that inverting the logic of the macro is the cleanest solution to this problem. As the semantics change, we changed the macro name and added a compile time error in case someone tries to use the old macro and we added a deprecation note to the documentation.
