[svn-r26165] HDF5-9117: if testing for proper working 'tr' command is needed.
Long time ago, the tr command in some platform does not work properly and this test was added to detect broken tr and abort the configure process. We are not aware of such broken tr command in current systems and decided to retire this test. The setup of ${TR} is still needed as it is used to process DEBUG_PKG. Tested: in jam using "./configure" and "./configure --enable-debug=all".
