octavePackages: remove broken packages

Browse source 
Remove fem-fenics, level-set, parallel, sparsersb, tisean, vibes, and
vrml packages which have been marked broken since NixOS 24.05 and
remain unfixed.

Per RFC 180, packages broken for a full release cycle are subject
to removal.

longDescription = ''
The VIBes API allows one to easily display results (boxes, pavings) from
interval methods. VIBes consists in two parts: (1) the VIBes application
that features viewing, annotating and exporting figures, and (2) the
VIBes API that enables your program to communicate with the viewer in order
to draw figures. This package integrates the VIBes API into Octave. The
VIBes application is required for operation and must be installed
separately. Data types from third-party interval arithmetic libraries for
Octave are also supported.
