Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of the IBM MQ Appliance who establish a high availability
  configuration.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The -f parameter on the crthagrp command was not required.
  

Problem conclusion

• The -f parameter has been removed from the crthagrp command
  because it is not required. The SSH keys used by the HA group
  are for internal appliance use only and they are not exposed to
  users. As the keys are never exposed it is not necessary to be
  able to re-establish an HA configuration using previously
  generated SSH keys.
