[llvm] worklows/release-tasks: Remove the release-lit workflow (PR #174644)

[Tom Stellard via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/tstellar created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/174644

This hasn't been working for a while, and I think we should wait until lit is part of the llvm organization on pypi before we start trying to automate its release again.

Subject: [PATCH] worklows/release-tasks: Remove the release-lit workflow

This hasn't been working for a while, and I think we should wait
until lit is part of the llvm organization on pypi before we
start trying to automate its release again.
