lilypond-book: Drop support for 'addversion'

Michael Käppler requested to merge dev/mk/lpbookrmaddversion into master

This option was only used within the Lilypond documentation and relied on the @version macro, autogenerated by scripts/build/create-version-itexi.py.

Rationale for dropping this functionality:

  • There were only three occurrences of 'addversion' left in the current docs, for none of them was clear which difference could justify the need for adding a version number, while the majority of doc snippets does not have any
  • it needed a complicated nesting of Texinfo environments like
@format
@exampleindent 0
@example
\version ...

to give consistent output through all output formats (PDF, Info, HTML).
