Building linux-6.6.y with clang-11 has been broken for almost a year: ClangBuiltLinux/linux#2069

There has never been a report about this breakage as far as I can tell, so it is likely nobody is actually using clang-11 on 6.6. While the other trees are working fine at the moment, there is not much coverage gained from having these builds going, so just remove them all.

Seems reasonable. Looking at kernel.org and the current dashboard, do we want to drop Clang 12 as well? It looks like (the even older) v5.4 isn't built with either already...

Yeah, I think we will want to drop clang-12 soon as well. I plan to bump the minimum version for mainline to 17.x in either 7.1 or 7.2 (as a result of https://lore.kernel.org/20260203035603.GC52989@ax162/) so I can probably just do it after that. I need to update the ClangBuiltLinux dashboard since we dropped 5.4 recently (#891); I will do that shortly.
