Ninja: Remove cleandead on regeneration

Remove the `cleandead` tool invocation added by commit fb18215904
(Ninja: clean ninja metadata once generated, 2019-05-13,
v3.17.0-rc1~207^2).  The tool deletes files that were not previously
deleted by regenerating the build system.  Also, there are use cases
where no-longer-generated files should not be removed, such as Qt's TS
files.

Fixes: #21549
