Description

The upstream doesn't provide binaries for x86 MacOS for the new versions of LLVM anymore.

https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/blob/8c72d55c1187821e1eee09f893c8ee7dcfff338c/src/llvm/llvm_url.ts#L88-L95

Research direction

Start with src/llvm/llvm_url.ts at lines 88-95 and inspect how LLVM download URLs are selected for x86 macOS. Determine how new LLVM versions should be handled when upstream no longer provides those binaries; done means the affected versions have an appropriate installation path or clear handling.
