Autotools: Check Apache version with apxs and HTTPD_VERSION variable (#15476)

The apxs -q HTTPD_VERSION variable is available since Apache 2.4.17.
This change obsoletes the PHP_AP_EXTRACT_VERSION macro and checks the
version in the config.m4 file directly. Version is checked against the
dotted format instead of the version number.
