Remove python library .whl files from omnibus packages

Andrew Patterson requested to merge 5905-exe-files-in-the-gitlab-ee-package into master

What does this MR do?

Removes the pip and setuptools .whl files from the created omnibus packages as they are unneeded, increase disk usage, and result in some user complaints.
