This will make it easier to remove these in 8 or later.

This is useful as it runs in the same context as setup()
but only runs once. This gives you access to objects
not yet initialized in setupSpec().

Update docs and usages to the preferred `updatable`

Cheap to keep backwards compatibility,
so no urgent need to remove.

This seems reasonable. It also reminded me of the GrailsDomainClass vs PersitentEntity change. Should we consider removing domainclass? I know it's a major change but in line with hibernate it may be worth it.

I looked at GrailsDomainClass, but skipped on as it was not an easy removal like the rest of these. But we should definitely figure out the correct way to deal with that deprecation also. There is also JsonBuilder in grails-converters

@matrei both James and I agree on this but this PR is a draft. Can we move forward with this?
