doc: remove llvm-config search from configure documentation

petere · petere · commit 4baff5013277 · 2024-08-21T15:11:21.000+02:00
As of 4dd29b6, we no longer attempt to locate any other llvm-config variant than plain llvm-config in configure-based builds; update the documentation accordingly. (For Meson-based builds, we still use Meson's LLVMDependencyConfigTool [0], which runs through a set of possible suffixes [1], so no need to update the documentation there.)
