CHG: remove version config option

README.md

 # NETDB API 3.x Client Library for Python3
+## Changes in netdb_client 2.x
+From version 2.0 onwards the config option `version` has been dropped. This is because the API Library is built against a specific WebAPI Version and is not cross-compatible with different WebAPI versions.
+The existing config files can still be used, but the config option will be ignored.
+
