[EP-tech] Remove versions support from EPrints

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi!

 EPrints 3.3.15 here.

 For our users, versions are confusing and often are misused. Often it
happens that the user make a mistake, submit to the buffer and then
(lazy) do a version to avoid reinserting the metadata again. So we find
there's a stale version linked to the good one and the buffer is also
filled with 2 items...

 We would like to hide the version functionality, at least for the
users. Then, as editor, we can link the real versions when we find there
are (using db queries, there's no other way I know).

 Thanks!
