Do not suggest deprecated flags

When you misspell the name of a flag, GHC outputs a nice list of similar flags that do exist:

$ ghc-8.0.1 -W-redundant-constraints
ghc: unrecognised flag: -W-redundant-constraints
did you mean one of:
  -Wredundant-constraints
  -Wno-redundant-constraints
  -fwarn-redundant-constraints

But since the -fwarn flags are deprecated, they should not be suggested. Neither should any of the other deprecated flags.

For a newcomer: the code is compiler/main/DynFlags.hs.
