ODBC: Document the new VarcharLimit and EarlyExecution params (#54632)

* Document VarcharLimit and EarlyExecution params

Add the documentation for the newly added VarcharLimit and
EarlyExecution DSN attributes.

* Remove obsolete VersionChecking param

This param had been removed already along the #53082 work.

* Update docs/reference/sql/endpoints/odbc/configuration.asciidoc

fix typo

`VarcharLimit` (default: `0`)::
The maximum width of the string columns.
If this setting is greater than zero, the driver will advertise all the string
type columns as having a maximum character length equal to this value and will
truncate any longer string to it. The string types are textual fields
(TEXT, KEYWORD etc.) and some specialized fields (IP, the GEOs etc.). Note that
no interpretation of the value is performed before trunctation, which can lead
to invalid values if the limit is set too low.
This is required for those applications that do not support column lengths as
large as {es} fields can be.

If this parameter is `true`, the server will include the frozen indices in the

This corresponds to {es-sql}'s request parameter `index_include_frozen`

`EarlyExecution` (default: `true`)::
If this parameter is `true`, the driver will execute a statement as soon as the
application submits it for preparation, i.e. early and is functionally
equivalent to a direct execution. This will only happen if the query lacks
parameters. Early execution is useful with those applications that inspect the
result before actually executing the query. {es-sql} lacks a preparation API,
so early execution is required for interoperability with these applications.
