Demote ltrace from standard to universe

Hi

I was running ltrace today and noticed it doesn't really work at
all anymore for binaries (tried ls, dpkg, apt, hello) in jammy,
presumably due to PIE.

It also fails to build on various architectures, unmaintained
since 4 years, and not really up to our quality standards
anymore IMO.

I'm proposing to remove this:

vorlon asked me to raise this here and get some feedback,
does anyone have an objection to this?

I know it's late in the cycle, but if the tool is (mostly) useless,
demoting it should actually help users to not waste their time.
