Subject: [PATCH] Build/Test Tools: Remove the Check Built Files workflow from
 the 6.8 branch.

The reusable workflow this calls was removed from `trunk` in [63315], so the workflow now fails before running any jobs on pull requests that touch CSS, JavaScript, JSON, Sass, Composer, or webpack files.

This removes the workflow from the 6.8 branch. All workflows that run the build script already fail when it results in changes to version-controlled files.

Follow up to [63315].

See #65845.
