icecat warning

Guix,

The icecat package description currently includes the warning:

"WARNING: IceCat 102 has not yet been released by the upstream IceCat
project.  This is a preview release, and does not currently meet the
privacy-respecting standards of the IceCat project."

Why? The icecat project states [1] that since 2019 "icecat is
maintained only as source code". The "download upstream, patch with
makeicecat, build" steps are the process icecat has switched to for
their privacy-respecting releases, so I propose removing this warning.
