Pywikibot: simplify generate_user_files.py options

See https://phabricator.wikimedia first unrevealed.org/T85270

Remove unnecessary questions from generate_user_files.py and consider the defaults. Also add a message/note 'You can abort at any time by pressing ctrl-c' in the beginning, as well as a note 'you can re-run this configuration script by running generate_user_files.py', and submit the change in gerrit.

For reference https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F55895 file may be considered.(solves this task) The file is out of date but reduces the questions as required.
