Update required ODBC .NET Framework version to reflect the compatibility
with the 4.x versions, replacing pinning it to the (EOL'd) 4.0 one.
Replace the link to the 4.8 framework with the generic .net page link.
Removes `testenv` annotations and related code. These annotations originally let you skip x-pack snippet tests in the docs. However, that's no longer possible.
Relates to #79309, #31619
* Implement dedicated client version compatibility
Add further dedicated client (xDBC, CLI) compatibility rules and
document these. A client is version-compatible with the server if:
- it supports version compatibility (past or on 7.7.0); and
- it's not on a version newer than server's; and
- it's major version is at most one unit behind server's.

places the recommendation distinctively: the unmet prerequisites will
fail the installation, while the driver would install on other OSes than
those recommended.
* address review suggestions.
- adjust phrasing for clearer message.
* document ODBC's extra connection string parameters
