[fdo-internals] Disable GEOS support explicitly

[Traian Stanev]

The OGR provider likely benefits from OGR having Geos compiled with it. However, the default build for the provider could probably get away without Geos.

Hi,

One of FDO users (drwelby) on the #fdo channel reported problems when
building FDO 3.2.x.

It seems he has GEOS installed and then ./configure called for GDAL
enables GEOS support automatically. However, there is probably a
problem with incompatible versions between installed GEOS and FDO's GDAL
version.

AFAIK, we don't need GEOS support in GDAL.
If I'm correct, I'd suggest to add --without-geos option to GDAL's
./configure call in Thirdparty.sh to explicitly disable it GEOS detection.

Here is error message posted by drwelby:
