makefile: remove different version tests, currently it's done via CI

These targets were useful at some point. But currently we have too many tests
that would fail on older hg versions when not using the appropriate
compatibility branch, so the targets have limited usefulness.

Right now the task of testing evolve and topic on every supported hg version is
offloaded to the CI, where every compatibility branch gets its own separate
pipeline, and that works and looks well.

It would be nice to have a script (not necessary a make target) to automate the
juggling of various compatibility branches and corresponding hg versions
locally, but right now it's too much work for not much profit and so is not a
priority. For now it makes more sense to remove these make targets than to fix
and maintain them.
