gnu: alex4: Remove non-free package.
Its readme.txt goes out of its way to licence only ‘source code’ under the GPL2+, a reading supposedly confirmed by the author: https://libregamewiki.org/Talk:Alex_the_Allegator_4 However, we don't need to rely on the authenticity of that claim: the game data is clearly not licenced, and is required to run the binary. Without it, the game segfaults. * gnu/packages/games.scm (alex4): Remove variable. Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65881>.
