Remove the flex version checks from configure and meson. The cutoff versions are all so ancient that this is no longer relevant, and what the actual cutoff should be is a bit fuzzy. This also removes the ancient behavior that configure would also accept a "lex" program if it is actuall flex. This aligns the check with meson in this respect. For future reference, as of this commit, these are relevant flex versions: - The hard required minimum is flex 2.5.34 as of commit b1ef48980dd, but this has not actually been tested. - Prior to this, the minimum enforced by configure/meson was flex 2.5.35, which is the oldest present in the buildfarm right now. - As of commit 6fdd5d95634, the oldest version that will compile without warnings due to flex-generated code is flex 2.5.36. - The oldest version that probably still has some practical relevance is flex 2.5.37, which ships with CentOS/RHEL 7.
