xen: Update toolchain requirements to GCC 5.1/Binutils 2.25 or Clang/LLVM 11
GCC 4.1.2 is from 2007, and Binutils 2.16 is a similar vintage. Clang 3.5 is from 2014. Supporting toolchains this old is a massive development and testing burden. Set a minimum baseline of GCC 5.1 across the board, along with Binutils 2.25 which is the same age. These were chosen *3 years ago* as Linux's minimum requirements because even back then, they were ubiquitous in distros. Choose Clang/LLVM 11 as a baseline for similar reasons; the Linux commit making this change two years ago cites a laudry list of code generation bugs. This will allow us to retire a lot of compatiblity logic, and start using new features previously unavailable because of no viable compatibility option. Merge the ARM 32bit and 64bit sections now they're the same.
