[svn-r26310] Merge of r26071 from features/autotools_rework
Removes the --with-default-vfd option from configure. This was basically
useless and only allowed selecting the stdio VFD. Since this is a demo
VFD and not really a production VFD, we decided to retire this option.
Fixes: HDFFV-9081
Tested on: jam (minor change)
