Not sure where we'd want this to be checked/printed. We don't do this
today, so what I'm doing here is not really a regression.
There is no single llvm version I'd want to pin down. For most tests
LLVM w/ basic BTF support would be enough, for CO-RE stuff we need the
latest Clang 10 (not yet released officially), though. So essentially
the stance right now is that you need latest Clang built from sources
to have all the tests compiled and I don't think it's easy to check
for that.

Good catch, removing them as well.
