chore(kde-neon-6): remove unnecessary symlink for kvantum
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged as commit 61faae080: dropped the redundant Kvantum symlink in kde-neon-6, since lxqt-support's Kvantum now reads $SNAP_REAL_HOME/.config/Kvantum directly via its own patch.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #6243 was merged into main as commit 61faae080, removing the 7 symlink-creation lines from the kde-neon-6 desktop integration. The change is redundant after the upstream lxqt-support-core22/core24 patches (7b0b1ebe, f8b8d8e0d) plus KDE desktop-integration MRs 9 and 10.

Issue body
This is just to remove the creation of the symlink to the Kvantum folder.
The Kvantum from the lxqt-support Snaps is now built with a patch so that it reads the `$SNAP_REAL_HOME/.config/Kvantum` folder, which makes the symlink creation unnecessary.
