Oh!

This was premature packaging -- cosign does not yet Build-Depends on
docker-credential-acr-env, but it is mentioned in go.mod so will be
needed if more parts of the package is enabled.

I'm open to anything here, some ideas:

1) Report upstream to cosign v3 that they stop importing this library.

2) Fix the FTBFS bug somehow

3) Keep docker-credential-acr-env out of testing until there is a
stronger use-case for it (I suppose the FTBFS bug will do that).

Other ideas?  Thoughts?
