CI: pin ubuntu-latest jobs to ubuntu-26.04 (#5983)

GitHub is moving the ubuntu-latest label from Ubuntu 24.04 to 26.04
between October 19 and November 19, 2026 (actions/runner-images#14748).
Pin every ubuntu-latest job to ubuntu-26.04 so the switch does not
change the toolchain under our jobs, and so the behaviour does not
depend on when GitHub reaches our runs.

Jobs pinned to ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm are unchanged.
