Portability: remove explicit check for libdl (#1963)

OpenBSD does not have libdl, as it has dlopen() in libc.
It is not really needed, and force-requiring the presence of libdl
causes ./configure to fail on openbsd:

    checking for dlopen in -ldl... no
    configure: error: Required library 'dl' not found
