Revert "meson: add soversion to libraries (#13960)"

This reverts commit bdbc739. Such a change needs more thought put into it. By versioning shared libraries we'd make a false impression that libraries themselves are actually versioned and have some sort of stable ABI, which is not the case. This will be useful when C bindings become stable, but as long as they are experimental it does not make sense to set SONAME. Also this change should not have been backported, since it's severely breaking.
