CommandExt::before_exec: deprecate safety in edition 2024

Similar to `set_var`, we had to find out after 1.0 was released that `before_exec` should have been unsafe. We partially rectified this by deprecating that function a long time ago, but since https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124636 we have the ability to also deprecate the safety of the old function and make it a *hard error* to call the old function outside `unsafe` in the next edition. So just in case anyone still uses the old function, let's ensure this can't be ignored when moving code to the new edition.
