[Buildroot] [git commit branch/next] package/libmcrypt: drop package

[Yann E. MORIN]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=e24c5731536a9820b6f42293551c582e2f47cc23
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

Drop libmcrypt which is a cryptographic package that is not maintained
anymore. Here is an extract of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mcrypt:
"The last update to libmcrypt was in 2007, despite years of unmerged
patches. These facts have led security experts to declare mcrypt
abandonware and discourage its use in new development.".
