Marking parallelstore deprecated for gcluster warnings

[vikramvs-gg]

The Parallelstore module is marked deprecated and its usage is already removed from all our blueprints. Now, that the gcluster deprecation warning feature is in place, we need to configure the deprecation to the module metadata. This change configures the deprecation parameters for parallelstore module.

Code Review

This pull request correctly marks the parallelstore module as deprecated by updating its metadata with a deprecation date and a recommended alternative. The corresponding README files for parallelstore and gke-storage have also been updated with the new deprecation date. My review includes one suggestion to improve the documentation in the gke-storage module's README to avoid showcasing a deprecated feature in its main example.
