* [3.15] gh-152785: Upgrade Ubuntu from 24.04 to 26.04 in GitHub Actions (#152717) (#153416) gh-152785: Upgrade Ubuntu from 24.04 to 26.04 in GitHub Actions (#152717) * Replace "ubuntu-24.04" with "ubuntu-26.04" on most jobs. * Replace "ubuntu-latest" with "ubuntu-26.04" for Cross build Linux. * Replace "ubuntu-latest" with "ubuntu-slim" for small workloads. * Update ".github/actionlint.yaml" to allow "ubuntu-26.04" and "ubuntu-26.04-arm" images. Backport changes: * Keep Ubuntu 24.04 and llvm.sh to install LLVM 19 and LLVM 20. * WASI uses ubuntu-26.04, not ubuntu-26.04-arm. (cherry picked from commit 4c79929) Co-authored-by: Hugo van Kemenade <1324225+hugovk@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit da999e6) Co-authored-by: Hugo van Kemenade <1324225+hugovk@users.noreply.github.com>
