ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES support in depends
#29203
The ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES variable was introduced in bitcoin#10508 “to speed up build and avoid timeout”.
It is no longer the case for our CI infrastructure, which uses self- hosted persistent workers and depends caching.
In the current circumstances, it does not seem worth porting this feature to the upcoming CMake-based build system.
