ci: remove some packages from Chimera job
This doesn't build QT, so drop ninja and xz, and add a comment.
With libevent removed, and no Qt build, we can also drop pkgconf.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a routine cleanup of the continuous integration (CI) build script for a Chimera Linux test job. It removes a few unused build packages (ninja, xz, pkgconf) because the job no longer compiles the Qt graphical wallet interface. There is no change to the Bitcoin Core software users run, no bug fix, and no security relevance.
No security action needed. This is a normal CI maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit modifies ci/test/00_setup_env_native_chimera_lto.sh, a CI environment setup script. It trims CI_BASE_PACKAGES because the job sets NO_QT=1 and does not build Qt, so ninja, xz, and pkgconf are unnecessary. It also adds a comment explaining why Qt is disabled (Chimera Linux carries downstream Qt patches). The change is purely a dependency list optimization for CI.
