From systemd 243 release note[1]:
This release enables unprivileged programs (i.e. requiring neither
setuid nor file capabilities) to send ICMP Echo (i.e. ping) requests
by turning on the "net.ipv4.ping_group_range" sysctl of the Linux
kernel for the whole UNIX group range, i.e. all processes.
So this wrapper is not needed any more.
See also [2] and [3].
This patch also removes:
- apparmor profiles in NixOS for ping itself and the wrapped one
- other references for the wrapped ping

This reverts commit fb6d63f3fd.
I really hope this finally fixes#99236: evaluation on Hydra.
This time I really did check basically the same commit on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1618011
Right now I don't have energy to find what exactly is wrong in the
commit, and it doesn't seem important in comparison to nixos-unstable
channel being stuck on a commit over one week old.
