fix(archsetup): disable problematic slow packages

Temporarily disable anki and tageditor packages that cause
excessive build times and failures during testing:
- anki: hangs for 98+ minutes, missing .gitconfig during cargo build
- tageditor: hangs indefinitely building qt5-webengine dependency

These packages need to be fixed or replaced before re-enabling.
