localedef: Add hint on purpose of --no-archive 

Indicate why using --no-archive might be a good idea. The issue
is that if you create a custom locale with localedef(1) and put
it to the locale archive then during the next glibc upgrade the
locale archive is updated as well and your custom locale is gone.)
