Description

The option offers several ways to make Maven 3 use Maven 2 legacy local repository, the option help text states: "Use Maven 2 Legacy Local Repository behaviour, ie no use of _remote.repositories. Can also be activated by using -Dmaven.legacyLocalRepo=true".

Let's drop this option, as there is no need to make Maven 3.9 support Maven 2 local repository, that is (should be) transient anyway. Also, if really needed, there IS a resolver configuration that offers somewhat similar semantics, but Maven CLI should NOT advertise Maven 2 backward compatibility anymore.
