Bug#972887: libgstreamer1-perl: Deprecated upstream

Hi,

upstream announced¹ that the GStreamer Perl module would be deprecated
and archived in December 2020:

 - The module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug
   fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI.

 - It will no longer be possible to submit new issues or pull requests
   for these modules, or push new changes to their Git repos.

Therefore, I don't think we should ship this package in Bullseye.

Any objection to removing the package from testing & sid?

This is a leaf package and popcon is 4/19 (vote/inst).
