litecoin{,d}: drop 

Our current version is from March 2023; there was a release with a
critical security fix in March of this year, and another one with more
security fixes two weeks ago. The listed maintainer has been inactive
in Nixpkgs for years and it seems nobody else is stepping up to keep
this package secure and updated. Let’s drop it until that changes.

    longDescription= ''

      Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant payments

      to anyone in the world. It is based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs

      from Bitcoin in that it can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware.

      Litecoin provides faster transaction confirmations (2.5 minutes on average)

      and uses a memory-hard, scrypt-based mining proof-of-work algorithm to target

      the regular computers and GPUs most people already have.

      The Litecoin network is scheduled to produce 84 million currency units.
