Subject: [PATCH] Keep the light client out of the bot images

@pezkuwi/rpc-provider lists @bizinikiwi/connect as an optional dependency,
so npm installed it, with smoldot, into both images. Both are GPL-3.0, and
the bots never load them: they reach the chains over WsProvider. The images
now install with --omit=optional; with that install both bots load and read
the relay, Asset Hub and People chains.

The lockfiles still list the packages, so Dependency Review, which denies
GPL-3.0, flagged them on the new payout-bot lockfile (the noter's had them
before). It allows exactly those three packages, and the bots job fails if
an image contains @bizinikiwi or smoldot, so the allowance cannot outlive
the reason for it.
