python3-picamera, picamera-libs: remove deprecated components

picamera uses the legacy MMAL camera stack, which Raspberry Pi documents
as deprecated and unsupported since Bullseye, with Picamera2 on libcamera
as its replacement [1][2]. libcamera is available through the
multimedia-layer dynamic layer.

The recipe also fetches over SSH and RDEPENDS on python3-colorzero from
meta-python while living outside dynamic-layers, which breaks world
without meta-python (yocto-check-layer test_machine_world).

picamera-libs only provides picamera's firmware libraries.
