Kalev Lember 1dadccd48c openh264: Drop runtime version checks
With the way the runtime checks are currently set up, every single
openh264 release, no matter how minor, is considered an ABI break and
requires gst-plugins-bad recompilation. This is unnecessarily strict
because it doesn't allow downstream distributions to ship any openh264
bug fix version updates without breaking gstreamer's openh264 support.

Years ago, at the time when gstreamer's openh264 support was merged,
openh264 releases were done without a versioned soname (the library was
just libopenh264.so, unversioned). Since then, starting with version
1.3.0, openh264 has started using versioned sonames and the intent has
been to bump the soname every time there's a new release with an ABI
change.

This patch drops the strict version check. meson.build already has a
minimum requirement on openh264 version 1.3.0 where soname versioning
was added, which should be good enough to ensure that the library is
using soname versioning.
