build: Drop ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES support in depends

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.
