Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce

When trying to configure motion, some config options names are being said as replaced by a new name in motion log

Meaning, if you follow motion guide at https://motion-project.github.io/motionv5_config.html, you get those error/warning in the log.

this applies to many options so I am not sure to list them all here

webcontrol_parms => webcontrol_access
webcontrol_authentication => webcontrol_auth_admin
stream_localhost => webcontrol_localhost

for example, the last one is ok, but the 2 first contradicts what is in the config guide (the guide is not updated ?)

Relevant Motion log output (at log_level 8)

motion[6478]: [NTC][ALL][mo00] edit_webcontrol_auth_method: Invalid webcontrol_auth_method 1
pan motion[6478]: [ALR][ALL][mo00] edit_set_depr: "webcontrol_authentication" replaced with "webcontrol_auth_admin" after version 5.0.0
