fix #H4065 - unnecessary role select confirmation

If player specified all four facets of role:  role, race, gender, and
alignment, via command line or option settings, the tty interface still
asked the player to confirm whether the character's role/&c was ok?
Skip that confirmation when all four things have already been chosen.
