privacyidea: remove

Related to #262907 (Django3 removal from nixpkgs).

This package already required an unreasonable amount of maintenance
regularly for a such small leaf-package. It has a few highly outdated
dependencies (e.g. flask 1, jinja2 2.11, sqlalchemy 1.3).

After at least each Python package-set update one had to fix up a lot of
dependencies to fix the package itself, so it was only useful on stable
branches. And having so much outdated software in a security-sensitive
piece of software seems questionable.

Finally, globin and I won't be available for maintaining this now that
Mayflower is migrating to another solution (and we'll do that as well)
and I'd expect this to bitrot extremely quick if we both bail out.
