deprecate layout=flat and warn people never to use it
It's broken in various circumstances, no one seems to actually use it,
CI doesn't test it, no one is committed to maintaining it, etc. etc.
etc.
Also, projects doing trivially reasonable things, such as generating
"foo/util.py" and "bar/util.py", create clashing output names. This will
never, ever, ever, ever work with layout=flat.
