Details:

The version check does not support the latest version of lcov (1.12).  The
history of this module[1][2][3][4] does not reveal a rationale for the check
and its utility seems dubious.  Rather than applying yet another temporary
fix, remove the check.

Note1:  The issue of version check removal was previously raised on
autoconf-archive-maintainers[5] without response.

Note2:  The patch increments the serial from #9042 but does not otherwise
depend on that patch.
