Draft: prepare LLVM8 removal from radeonsi/radv

Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer requested to merge pepp/mesa:remove_llvm8 into master

This is CI changes required to remove LLVM8 support from radeonsi and radv.

It's a spin-off from !6629 (closed) to ease discussion.

The basic idea is to upgrade our images from Buster to Bullseye. This allows to remove some backports, some external packages (LLVM) and some builds (Waffle).

But it also causes some breakage. For instance, starting from llvm-9 the llvm-9-dev package depends on llvm-9-tools which depends on python3 (which causes issues on multi-arch systems).

This MR is a draft because not everything is working, but I happily welcome feedback or direct contributions to the branch.
