DEP: Deprecate the old_defines.h header and the macros therein.
The old_defines.h file is no longer included in ndarrayobject.h, but instead in the npy_deprecated_api.h file. It is no longer part of the numpy build and its deprecation is noted in the release notes.

+Direct access to the fields of PyArrayObject* has been
+deprecated. Direct access has been recommended against for many releases.
+
+The macros in old_defines.h are deprecated and will be removed in the next
+major release. The sed script tools/replace_old_macros.sed can be used to
+replace these macros with the newer versions.

+You can test your code against the deprecated C API by #defining
NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API before including any NumPy headers. Expect
something similar for PyArray_Descr* and other core objects in the
future as preparation for NumPy 2.0.
