python312Packages.imgtool: remove

[samueltardieu]

This is already packaged as a proper Python application in mcuboot-imgtool. An alias redirects existing users.

You are effectively removing the package from python3Packages. We should probably add an alias for that.

Yes, the package is in fact an application (and should not have been put into python3Packages), and is already available as mcuboot-imgtool (which had been accepted in 2023 a few days before this package).

Nobody depends on imgtool in nixpkgs. Some people might have installed it, for example using home-manager. Is there a procedure to migrate to mcuboot-imgtool for them?

If the packages are indeed identical, make an alias attribute that points to mcuboot-imgtool.

Done.

The commit message and the PR title should start with python312Packages.imgtool since this is in the python modules.
