CI: Remove irrelevant branch from v6 GitHub Actions config (#1311)

The original GitHub Actions configuration (see commit 2ed8cc4)
incorrectly assumed that GitHub will use that configuration (stored in
the master branch) for testing _all_ repository branches. In reality,
GitHub uses configuration from the being-tested branch. Thus, we do not
need to (and, hence, should not) list any branches in the X branch
configuration, with the exception of the X branch itself and the "auto"
branch where all PRs (including all X-targeting PRs) are staged for the
final "as if merged" testing.

Cherry-picked master/v7 commit 58ecf6052ef258aaafd6d4c810a0757299113e9b
and then replaced "master" with "v6" because "this branch" is v6.
