[Bug ada/14350] New: libada/configure.in should not hardcode GCC version

["jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

libada/configure.in says:

# Please keep the version number in sync with the general GCC version.
AC_INIT([GCC libada],[experimental pre-3.5])

This additional place with a version number hardcoded is a regression from
3.4.  We've carefully reduced the number of such places to just two,
gcc/version.c and gcc/doc/include/gcc-common.texi, which are documented in
branching.html and releasing.html.  This additional place - not documented
in the place RMs will look - is an unwanted addition.  No version number at
all should be hardcoded here that appears anywhere else.

(The GCC version number is of course an entirely separate matter from the
*library* ABI version numbers, which need to be maintained independently
when the ABI changes.  But ada/Makefile.in takes care to extract the library
version number from gnatvsn.ads rather than duplicating it; this file should
not duplicate the library version number either, which should remain kept
in exactly one place.)
