https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/763fe887c37cee5fcfe0f00e94fdffc84a41ea1c/js/src/frontend/Parser.cpp#6134
>             if (versionNumber() < JSVERSION_LATEST) {
>                 if (!report(ParseWarning, pc->sc->strict(), null(), JSMSG_DEPRECATED_FOR_EACH))
>                     return null();
>             }

we should warn regardless of the version number.
that will help add-on developers to migrate to standard syntax.

Removed versionNumber() check, and changed unused strict argument to false.
Also, made it warn-only-once, just like expression closure, to avoid flooding console.

It would be useful to add [Learn more] to the warning and then explain what the standardized alternatives to for-each are.

To do that, a new page needs to be written here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Errors and "JSMSG_DEPRECATED_FOR_EACH" and the URL needs to be added to https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/server/actors/errordocs.js
Added link to For-each-in_loops_are_deprecated page.
