amazon-qldb-shell: drop

[terlar]

Amazon is dropping support for Amazon QLDB and is not accepting any new customers, these packages have not received any updates upstream for years, (except pyqldb which received one yearly release up to last year before the deprecation).

I did not drop the supporting packages python3Packages.amazon-ion and python3Packages.jsonconversion as they are not directly related and still receives active development. Should we drop them as well as they are just libraries and don't support any packages currently?

Closes #409038

IMO as long as they are properly maintained by upstream, we can keep them around.
Though I don't have a very strong opinion about this.

Merge conflict due to #410679

[pbsds]

End of support notice: Existing customers will be able to use Amazon QLDB until end of support on 07/31/2025.

Sounds like a good date to merge this 👍
I'm in favor of keeping it around untill then to aid any users who want to leverage nixpkgs to egress

[pbsds]

Since there already is a merge conflict i went ahead and merged #409038 in the meanwhile

[terlar]

I have resolved the merge conflict now and updated the date in the drop comments.

The official deprecation date is closing in:
Amazon QLDB until end of support on 07/31/2025

@pbsds I rebased this again.

GitHub Actions seems to have some unrelated issues.
