Track obsolete API in the script examples

[ivan-mogilko]

There seem to be leftovers of obsolete, sometimes quite ancient API in the script examples. I'm afraid it might be tedious to look for them all manually.

Would it be realistic to make some kind of a script that would have a list of obsolete functions and properties as an input, and run through the wiki pages, and then tell which one still mention these?

This was generated by ignoring the "Script API", "Upgrading", and the "Obsolete variables" pages, and then looking for matches. I think this is the best I can reasonably do whilst the obsolete functions are actually still documented and linked.

Replace 'PlayMusic' with 'AudioClip.Play'

That looks interesting; thank you!

There are couple false-positives in the engine API, but overall these cases need to be fixed.
