[bad-option-value] Add a 'useless-option-value' message

configuration that could be cleaned.

We use old_names to decrease message type to warning

   Closes #6624
 
+* ``bad-option-value`` (E0012) is now a warning ``unknown-option-value`` (W0012). Deleted messages that do not exist
+  anymore in pylint now raise ``useless-option-value`` (R0022) instead of ``bad-option-value``. This allows to
+  distinguish between genuine typos and configuration that could be cleaned up.  Existing message disables for
+  ``bad-option-value`` will still work on both new messages.
