Remove use of 'dh dh2048.pem' from sample configs, remove 'dh2048.pem' file

Since commit bd9aa06feb (Jan 2015) OpenVPN has allowed to use
'--dh none' to disable traditional Diffie Hellman, since more secure
ECDH algorithms are available that do not use explicit DH parameters.

If configured with a suffiently high securelevel (3+), or if running in
FIPS mode, OpenSSL 3.5 will refuse 2048 bit DH files, making our tests
fail.

Thus, remove all the DH2048 stuff from our sample configs.
