Addresses qgis/QGIS#34993
Implements a simplified version of the idea mentioned in
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2020-March/051881.html
with a variant of the more radical approach suggested in
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2020-March/051885.html
That is the new method OGRSpatialReference::StripTOWGS84IfKnownDatumAndAllowed()
will remove TOWGS84 information from SRS whose datum name is known,
unless the OSR_STRIP_TOWGS84 configuration option is set to NO.
When TOWGS84 information is striped, a debug message is emitted.
