docs: Set minimal gtags / GNU GLOBAL version to 6.6.5

commit b230235b38 upstream.

Kernel build now uses the gtags "-C (--directory)" option, available
since GNU GLOBAL v6.6.5.  Update the documentation accordingly.

gtags / GNU GLOBAL (optional)
-----------------------------
The kernel build requires GNU GLOBAL version 6.6.5 or later to generate
tag files through ``make gtags``. This is due to its use of the gtags
``-C (--directory)`` flag.
