The specified minimum version (11) is the current minimum so remove the specification entiterly in preparation for removing support for llvm11 from Uses/llvm.mk.
This matches LLVM_DEFAULT which is what audio/faust will default to. This is wrong as audio/faust uses USES=llvm:min=15,lib and thus might use a version other than 15, but it's less wrong than hardcoding 11 and the result compiles...
Bump _LLVM_MINVER to 12 and remove 11 from the valid list. No remaining ports depend on USES=llvm supporting 11 so remove support to allow the port to be further slimmed down.
It's no longer possible for LLVM_DEFAULT to be 11 so remove support for it.

I belive the only consumers of this port are lang/ghc810 and lang/ghc92 which use LLVM as part of the boostrap on armv7 and aarch64. As such it makes no sense to build anything by the native backend and the core LLVM framework. As an intial test of this hypothesis, deselect all standard options and default to BE_NATIVE. After a period of testing I plan to remove or completely disable other options and restrict the set of architectures that build llvm11 to reduce project resource use.

This set of patches removes consumers of devel/llvm11 where possible (most didn't actually use it), removes if from USES=compiler and USES=llvm, and pares the default build down to just building the core LLVM bits. Unfortunately, it's used to bootstrap old ghc versions on aarch64 and armv7 so we're stuck with it for now, but we can cut its size dramatically.
