This is because, upstream, the shared libraries don't have
ABI versioning that lets Debian package them correctly
(<https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/3214>,
<https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/3046>,
<https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools/issues/3909>). When
that becomes available, it should be possible to re-enable the shared
libraries.

Previously the shared libraries were provided, but not packaged properly
(<https://bugs.debian.org/956510>) which was breaking other packages.
