Rollup merge of rust-lang#77126 - Mark-Simulacrum:llvm-less-often, r=alexcrichton

Invalidate local LLVM cache less often

This avoids a download of LLVM after every rebase. The downside to this is that if we land some patch affecting LLVM built in CI that breaks this option, but that PR does not update the LLVM submodule, we'll likely not notice until the next update -- but this seems unlikely to happen in practice and I am not personally worried about it.
