Drop localedef.1 --old-style description

Drop localedef.1 --old-style description

[Marko Myllynen]

Hi Michael,

the glibc upstream decided to drop localedef(1) --old-style option [1]
altogether, I think we can do the same with localedef(1), the option
hasn't done anything in over 16 years and I doubt anyone uses it.
