profiles: last rite app-emulation/vkd3d

Mask message tries to clear up user confusion, has a history
of users keeping it in @world or requesting version bumps while
unaware that the package is not being used by >=wine-8

Also, while we were still bumping & stabilizing this, we were not
really testing it with wine-7 and unclear if new versions even
still worked with it.

+# No revdeps left, and serves no purpose on its own.  Formerly used
+# by <=app-emulation/wine-*-7 but <=7.x has been dropped and newer
+# versions of it cross-build their own .dll (PE) version of it
+# leaving the system's .so (ELF) copy unused.
+#
+# In other words, *can* use vkd3d with wine without this package.
+#
+# Not to be confused with app-emulation/vkd3d-proton which builds a
+# .dll usable as an alternative to wine's own.
+#
+# Removal on 2025-03-16.

 # Last release 10 years ago, dead upstream, depends on Qt5, no one else
 # packages this. Removal on 2025-03-14.
