docs: Set minimal gtags / GNU GLOBAL version to 6.6.5
commit b230235b386589d8f0d631b1c77a95ca79bb0732 upstream. Kernel build now uses the gtags "-C (--directory)" option, available since GNU GLOBAL v6.6.5. Update the documentation accordingly.

+The kernel build requires GNU GLOBAL version 6.6.5 or later to generate
