From recent discussions, it seems that the 'tdsver' configure option provides more confusion than benefit.

From my ignorance of its intended use, I offer this proposal. Feel free to
argue against it.

Propose: Ignore the "tdsver" option, and mark it obsolete in the user guide
documentation.

Change 'configure' to ignore --tdsver if supplied. If one is offered, print:
The --tdsver option is obsolete and will be ignored.

Internally, the source will default to use the greatest TDS version that the source code supports.

Benefits:
1. simpler configuration
2. no other change in how ".conf" or ".ini" files shape the TDS version that is ultimately used.
