remove link_highest_lib_version misfeature

in retrospect, we were too conservative in 925fd32a2d8f making the
"feature" optional - it simply makes no sense to have qmake
automatically find the highest major (!) version of a library based on
a loosely defined platform-specific convention (not standard, unlike
ELF's .so versioning) with side effects.
