[v2,3/3] ui: Remove deprecated options "-sdl" and "-curses"

Commit Message

Thomas Huth May 18, 2022, 1:44 p.m. UTC

We have "-sdl" and "-curses", but no "-gtk" and no "-cocoa" ...
these old-style options are rather confusing than helpful nowadays.
Now that the deprecation period is over, let's remove them, so we
get a cleaner interface (where "-display" is the only way to select
the user interface).
