Deprecate the Transformer item.

When dynamic rules were introduced, transformers became second-class
citizens. They do not play well with rules, they introduce annoying
additional code paths in the implementation and they are plain broken in
several aspects. Now that rules with no inputs are supported, we don't
need transformers anymore.
