skype: remove package
Skype is  no longer available as a Debian package, only as a Snap package, thus no version numbering is avalable in the filename. Moreover, even if the older Debain/Ubuntu package works, the links are dead and can only be obtained throough archive.org or a similar service.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/52948.patch is attached
