Rollup merge of #59377 - smaeul:patch/system-llvm, r=nikic

Correct minimum system LLVM version in tests

Since commit 9452a8dfa3ba, the new debug info format is only generated
for LLVM 8 and newer versions. However, the tests still assume that LLVM
7 will use the new debug info format. Fix the tests (and a comment in
the code) to match the actual version check.
