Disable SDE raster support

[dmorissette]

SDE raster support has been disabled in the 4.8 source, see email exchange below.

Last thing to do is removing DES raster stuff form the configure.in script.

I just committed fixups of the layer virtualization issue I was 
having with SDE *and* switched off support for SDE rasters.  Could 
someone comfortable with configure.in magic remove the SDE raster 
configuration stuff?

Thanks

I'll take care of the configure stuff

All that the configure.in SDE Raster code did was adding -DUSE_SDERASTER. I am
not setup to test, but I think removing that code is safe. Howard, can please
confirm that normal SDE builds still work.

Committed in configure.in r1.133. I'll attach a patch file that contains the
code that I took out of configure.in and Makefile.in in case anyone ever wants
to re-enable that code.
