[bug#63599] [PATCH] gnu: Remove bitcoin-abc.

[Guillaume Le Vaillant <glv@posteo.net>]

This package (version 0.21.12 from July 2020, which currently doesn't build)
is for an outdated version of the Bitcoin Cash protocol. Since November 2020,
the bitcoin-abc program has become an implementation of the eCash protocol,
which is different from Bitcoin Cash (different consensus model).

* gnu/packages/finance.scm (bitcoin-abc): Remove variable.
