configure: Remove unused python_version variable

Shellcheck correctly reports that we set python_version and never use
it.  This is a leftover from commit f9332757898a7: we used to use
python_version purely to as part of the summary information printed
at the end of a configure run, and that commit changed to printing
the information from meson (which looks up the python version
itself). Remove the unused variable.
