Control: affects -1 + src:obs-studio

Dear ftp-masters,

please remove the ppc64el binary packages produced by src:obs-studio.

Upstream explicitely does not support any architecture except amd64.
While this in itself is probably not a good reason to drop an binary packages
for a given architecture, I would like to reduce the arch-specific maintainer
overhead, for this already quite complex package.

Some of the B-Ds for obs-studio (namely: luajit) are not available on a number
of archs. luckily only two release archs are affected: ppc64el and risc64
(for the latter, obs-studio was never successfully built).

In #1051931 it was suggested, to whitelist the archs that actually have
luajit packages, but this would further complicate packaging.

I therefore kindly request to drop the ppc64el package.
If luajit ever becomes available on this (and other) architecture(s), I of
course welcome obs-studio on these archs.

cheers, and thanks for your enduring work.
