gpg: Remove MDC options

* g10/gpg.c: Turn options --force-mdc, --no-force-mdc, --disable-mdc
and --no-disable-mdc into NOPs.
* g10/encrypt.c (use_mdc): Simplify.  MDC is now almost always used.
* g10/cipher.c (write_header): Include extra hint and make
translatable.
* g10/options.h (struct opt): Remove fields force_mdc and disable_mdc.

--

The MDC is now always used except with --rfc2440 which will lead to a
a big fat warning.

This is a stripped down version of commit
253e8bdd9014cbe6dc06adce9d9dd2f8f4b31709 which could not directly be
applied due to the AEAD mechanisms there.

Force the use of encryption with a modification detection code. This
is always used with the newer ciphers (those with a blocksize greater
than 64 bits), or if all of the recipient keys indicate MDC support in
their feature flags.
@item --disable-mdc

Disable the use of the modification detection code. Note that by
using this option, the encrypted message becomes vulnerable to a
message modification attack.
