profiles: mask app-antivirus/clamav-unofficial-sigs for removal.

This package tries very hard to run itself as root and unsafely change
random permissions and ownership on your system. Now that there are
alternatives (freshclam and/or fangfrisch), it needs to go.

+# Upstream has no idea what they're doing, and every new version
+# introduces more security issues. Freshclam itself can now fetch
+# most third-party signatures, or app-antivirus/fangfrisch serves
+# as a replacement with a sane upstream.
