* gnu/packages/maths.scm (h5check): Delete variable.

Change-Id: Ia7ced02059734cf8a5a2db39bbe0f1b38f67df12
---
The package has no dependents and appears to be unmaintained. The source
code has vanished under the given URL. According to
   https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64448
it does not compile any more with current versions of hdf5.

In accordance with our deprecation policy I suggest to remove the
package after April 26.
