Bug #47941 configure --with-ndb-port-base=port broken and should be removed

Description:
The value for NDB_TCP_BASE_PORT defined in ndb_global.h(.in) is set to "@ndb_port_base@". The intention is that it should be set by configure to the value of --with-ndb-port-base=port(or to the builtin default)

Since the need to specify which baseport number to be used for connections inside the cluster has been removed by implementing dynamic server ports, the ability to specify which base port to use should be removed.

How to repeat:
MCI

Suggested fix:
Remove the --with-ndb-base-port from configure and all remnants of it in the code.

Fixed configure, it now looks like:

Using NDB Cluster
could not find sci transporter in /{include, lib}
configure: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option --with-ndb-port-base
checking for NDB Cluster options...
