[pve-devel] [PATCH installer] gui: remove G_SLICE=always-malloc usage

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

Since Glib 2.76 there is no need to set this environment variable as
this is the default now. For more details see the release notes of
2.75.3 (pre-release for 2.76). Additionally, when run under Valgrind it
would use malloc even from before 2.75.3.

Proxmox VE 9 ships with libglib2.0 2.84.
