Drop m.version (#2466)

* Drop `m.version`

It's caused way too much grief over the years, and I've finally decided
it's worth pitching. For those who need it, it's easy to get, especially
if you use it through Node or a build system. And for those who are just
loading it globally, you have to explicitly specify the version anyways,
so you'd be just as golden if you followed it up with a simple inline
script that does `m.version = "the version you loaded"`.

Oh, and also, you shouldn't be coding specifically for version numbers,
either - it's a known anti-pattern. Instead, you should prefer feature
detection and just do the right thing.

- redraw: `mithril/redraw` now just exposes the `m.redraw` callback ([#2458](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2458) [@isiahmeadows](https://github.com/isiahmeadows))
- The `.schedule`, `.unschedule`, and `.render` properties of the former `redrawService` are all removed.
- If you want to know how to work around it, look at the call to `mount` in Mithril's source for `m.route`. That should help you in finding ways around the removed feature. (It doesn't take that much more code.)
- api: `m.version` has been removed. If you really need the version for whatever reason, just read the `version` field of `mithril/package.json` directly. ([#2466](https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/pull/2466) [@isiahmeadows](https://github.com/isiahmeadows))
