* gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm (variant-tools): Delete variable.

The package does not compile any more and has no dependent packages.
The last release dates from 2020; there is an additional commit in 2022;
the git repository has been archived in 2023.

Yet another package depending on hdf5, which I noticed does not compile
when I tried to update hdf5, but it already does not compile now.
There is a package r-varianttools in bioconductor, but I think they are
not related.
