This logic has not been working since 2014 [0] although it was briefly
fixed (by accident) when TARGETDIR_VER was made an absolute directory
[1] (since reverted as that caused problems with CPACK/WIN32).
"file(REMOVE_RECURSE ${TARGETDIR_VER})" would attempt to remove:
- "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGETDIR_VER}" instead of
- "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${TARGETDIR_VER}".
While this could be re-enabled by correcting the path,
it slows down the install target by copying files every "install".
This could be made to detect changes and only cleaning files in this
case however this ends up being fairly involved, see: PR !111084.
As stale files haven't been causing problems as far as I'm aware,
remove this code.
