libupb.a needed by anything using protobuf .cmake files

/usr/lib/cmake/protobuf/protobuf-targets.cmake contains:
-----
add_library(protobuf::libupb STATIC IMPORTED)
-----
So if we remove libupb.a as done in protobuf instructions (since
protobuf-31), any CMakeLists.txt using this file will fail with:
----------
CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/protobuf/protobuf-targets.cmake:132
(message):
  The imported target "protobuf::libupb" references the file

     "/usr/lib/libupb.a"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/usr/lib/cmake/protobuf/protobuf-targets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.
-----------
So I think we should remove the line "rm /usr/lib/libupb.a" when
installing protobuf. libupb.a is about 520KB in size...

Note that Qt-6.9.0 "configure" will fail with the above error if
protobuf-31 is installed and the removal of libupb.a had been done.
