Changing the request to llvm-toolchain-18 per Zixing's suggestion, with
that rationale that then the newer backported toolchain could be used
for a longer period of time before another newer backport is needed.

** Package changed: llvm-toolchain-16 (Ubuntu) => llvm-toolchain-18
(Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- Backport llvm-toolchain-16 to focal for firefox
+ Backport llvm-toolchain-18 to focal for firefox

** Description changed:

  Recent releases of Firefox deb packaged for focal have been failing on
  increasingly more architectures[1] mainly due to the outdated version of
  clang/llvm available on focal (currently llvm-toolchain-13), to the
  point where the current Firefox 130 stable series focal deb package only
  builds successfully on amd64 and all other arches are stuck with older
  vulnerable firefox deb packages.
  
- As such, it would be great if llvm-toolchain-16 or newer would be
- backported to focal (and jammy) so we could hopefully build newer
- releases of Firefox on those arches again.
+ As such, it would be great if llvm-toolchain-18 would be backported to
+ focal (and jammy) so we could hopefully build newer releases of Firefox
+ on those arches again.
