Joey Parrish 3358226dcb ci: Stop testing on old versions of Safari (#9021)
The method of running old versions of Safari no longer works.

Apple no longer hosts all Safari installers. The one we referenced
before for Safari 15 is no longer available. We should probably be on
Safari 17 as our legacy version now, since the latest is Safari 18.

I found currently-available installers via
[mrmacintosh.com](https://mrmacintosh.com/macos-safari-full-installer-database-download-directly-from-apple/),
but the latest Safari 17 no longer runs on the latest macOS version. (At
least, not on my Google corporate mac.)

So it seems that the best thing to do is to just stop testing on old
versions of Safari.
