Update ubuntu-latest to 24.04

[rafl]

To match the github runner images.

The current situation, where ubuntu-latest refers to ubuntu-22.04, is a little confusing and can make debugging certain CI problems much harder.

There is a catthehacker/ubuntu:act-24.04 tag on docker. Edit: you are right act-latest is pointing to act-22.04.

Quickie for anyone else just trying this out:

❯ gh act push -P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-24.04

[amylizzle]

if you're using the Github Local Actions extension for vscode, go to Extensions -> Github Local Actions -> Settings and set Act Command to act -P ubuntu-latest=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-24.04 (assuming you're using nektos/act)

Will be sort of resolved for act after https://github.com/nektos/act/pull/5951

There is still some work going on, but you can already try it out:

# Will need go toolchain installed.
git clone --branch chore/update-images-24.04 https://github.com/keks/act.git
make build
# See resulting binary in `dist/local/act`

Note that previous act settings are hardcoded in ~/.config/act/actrc and therefore it may not switch for latest to 24.04 automatically. In that case, you can reset the config - either by removing it completely or by removing lines that start with -P (sed -i '/^-P/d' ~/.config/act/actrc).
