[PATCH] CI: Update x86 tests from Linux 6.1.19 to 6.6.56

[PATCH] CI: Update x86 tests from Linux 6.1.19 to 6.6.56

[Andrew Cooper]

Linux 6.6.56 was already added to test-artifacts for the argo testing, and
this removes one moving part while cleaning things up.

Drop the associated export job, and dockerfile.

My hw12 runner series adds CONFIG_USB_RTL8152, there are also other
series that needs extending kernel config. Is there some better way of
handling such series than sending patches to two repositories? Maybe
test-artifacts.git scripts could pull some parts from xen.git? But the
committing order would still be weird (commit kernel change into
xen.git, rebuild test-artifacts, commit the rest to xen.git)...

This still waits in the queue for adl and kbl. But should be good, given
it worked also with 6.12.

Yes, I'm aware.  I'm trying to get us down to 1 way of doing artefacts,
rather than continuing the hybrid scheme.  I have a *lot* of changes to
test-artefacts to post too.

When that's done, updating the config (or another aspect of the
artefact) should just be a change to test-artefacts, with no change to Xen.

Updating the versions will require a patch to test-artefacts first, then
one to Xen to start using it.

It worked in local smoke tests too.
