<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/17961|#17961 Warning about deprecation of [python-repos].repos option that doesn't appear in pants.toml>
Issue created by <https://github.com/huonw|huonw>
*Describe the bug*

When I run a recent pre-release version of pants (between 2.16.0.dev4 and <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/commit/5b13bdd36ec8cd27c565b15122c1ca5344a597f7|5b13bdd>), I get a warning about an option that doesn't appear in the `pants.toml` file:

```
15:22:49.41 [WARN] DEPRECATED: option 'repos' in scope 'python-repos' is scheduled to be removed in version 3.0.0.dev0.

A deprecated alias for `[python-repos].find_links`.
```

This is with an absolutely minimal pants.toml: <https://gist.github.com/huonw/9424a2a6d63f4c14826d5cbbc98c702c|https://gist.github.com/huonw/9424a2a6d63f4c14826d5cbbc98c702c>
