Subject: [ruby-core:99582] [Ruby master Feature#17122] Add category to	Warning#warn

Issue #17122 has been reported by eileencodes (Eileen Uchitelle).

----------------------------------------
Feature #17122: Add category to Warning#warn
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17122

* Author: eileencodes (Eileen Uchitelle)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
Deprecation warnings and other warnings in Ruby have a category (:deprecated, etc) but those categories aren't exposed or accessible. In the most recent Ruby 2.7 upgrade at GitHub we monkey patched `Warning#warn` to be able to turn warnings into exceptions. However, there was no way to tell which warnings were deprecations and which were other types of warnings.

I want to expose the `category` on the `Warning` module so that I'm able to monkey patch `Warning#warn` and treat deprecation warnings differently from other warnings without using a regex the strings.

Here's an example program demonstrating what I'd like to get from Ruby by implementing this feature:

```ruby
module Warning
  def self.warn(msg, category: nil)
    if category == :deprecated
      raise msg 
    else
      super
    end 
  end 
end

def ivar
  Object.new.instance_variable_get(:@ivar)
end

# Doesn't raise, but warns with verbose set
ivar

# Raises an error
Object.new.tainted?
```

The PR I worked on with @tenderlove is here: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3418

It moves the `Warning` module to be written in Ruby, updates `rb_warning_s_warn` to pass kwargs, and adds a `category` to `Warning#warn`.
