Control: affects -1 + src:bcachefs-tools

I intend to orphan the bcachefs-tools package.

The package description is:
 Userspace tools for bcachefs, a modern copy on write, checksumming, multi
 device filesystem.

This package is currently not suitable for inclusion in
stable/testing at all. Upstream requires the vendoring of quite a large
amount of code. We currently work around this in Debian by relaxing
dependencies, but it may cause additional bugs down the line.

Also, when a version of bcachefs-tools is one or two minor releases (or
a few months) behind, it's considered ancient and buggy and unusable.
(see previous bugs filed against the package).

I was tempted to remove it completely, but someone suggested that I
orphan it instead. I made an upload with the latest version to
experimental, and I'm removing it everywhere else.
