gnu: heimdal: Drop obsolete and insecure user tools. 

According to messages from the Heimdal maintainers Brian May and Nico
Williams, no one should be using their version of 'su' anymore. It was deleted
from the development branch five years ago [1] and is only being shipped
because the 7.8.0 is based on an older, stable branch.

[1] 8a77f45aff

Following the directions from the maintainers, this commit drops all
executables built from the ./appl folder via deletion of that SUBDIR from
the top-level Makefile.am.

Unfortunately, the heimdal-discuss mailing list does not appear to have a
public archive. The relevant SMTP Message-Id was:

    <MDAEMON-F202305111940.AA401569md5001000003030@sequoia-grove.ad.secure-endpoints.com>

* gnu/packages/kerberos.scm (heimdal): Drop obsolete and insecure user tools.
