locale-gen.8: remove references to options that have been dropped

The --ask, --debug, --generate, --inplace-glibc, --list and --keep
options have been dropped. Jettison them from the locale-gen(8) manual.
Note that I got the manual section right this time; appending "(1)" has
become a difficult habit to shake.

Further, remove the paragraph claiming that options can be forwarded to
localedef(1), for that is no longer the case.
