suidChroot: drop 

The package fails to build with gcc 14.
It has neither maintainer nor homepage link in nixpkgs.
The last commit specifically interacting with `suidChroot` was in 2017,
the last update was in 2015. With no linked repository and no maintenance,
the security of something claiming to be a "Setuid-safe wrapper for chroot" is questionable at best.
