    profiles: update dev-python/{tomli, setuptools_scm} mask
    
    - Unmask irrelevant dev-python/tomli
    - Keeping the setuptools_scm mask because
      even though the broken version is gone from ::gentoo,
      it raises awareness for users with it already installed.

The news item has now been published (https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2021-09-05-setuptools_scm-6_3_0-temporary-breakage.html).

There's no more action to be taken here -- the actual *fix* for this was https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/dev-python/setuptools_scm?id=0c76b447cd1be9cf611f649970851750304d9ca6 which added a dependency on packaging for setuptools_scm.

Keeping this open for now for visibility. Please read the news item if you're hitting issues.
