[configure] Produce a warning if libtiff and gdal are both enabled

Description 

It is very common for users to run into problems when both TIFF and GDAL are
enabled in MapServer.  The configure script should produce a warning in this
case, or even prevent that combination completely.

Apparently there are still some docs that "recommend" the use of native TIFF. 
They should be updated as well to warn users of possible problems if used in
combination with GDAL.

Resolution: → fixed

This was fixed a while ago, in time for the 4.2 release: the native
TIFF/JPEG/PNG drivers are now disabled by default if GDAL is enabled.
README.CONFIGURE has also been updated.
