providers: do not push .bashrc to Multipass instances
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged as 2a8d07b24 to skip pushing .bashrc to Multipass; later superseded by #4010 (3b6220cb), which restored it.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: PR #3967 merged a temporary workaround for the craft-providers Multipass limitation. PR #4010 later removed that workaround and restored .bashrc transfers in commit 3b6220cb.

-----
A limitation of craft-providers prevents snapcraft from pushing files to Multipass's `/root/` directory. This limitation was uncovered with the recent PR https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/pull/3951.
This PR prevents pushing `.bashrc` to Multipass environments. This reversion can be addressed after https://github.com/canonical/craft-providers/issues/169 is resolved.
