ci: run at least some tests on older Go/LLVM versions

These should make sure basic functionality is still working.
Using the `-short` flag to avoid taking too long to run all tests (and
to install all the necessary emulators), and because some targets might
not work in older Go/LLVM versions (such as WASI).

This does _not_ run tests and checks against expected IR, because LLVM
IR changes a lot across versions.
