Niels Lohmann 6ba332c7df Migrate remaining CI jobs off custom json-ci image to official images (#5263)
* Migrate ci_icpc/ci_test_compilers_gcc_old/ci_infer off custom json-ci image

Replaces the last three consumers of ghcr.io/nlohmann/json-ci with official
images: ci_icpc now uses Intel's own intel/oneapi-hpckit:2023.2.1-devel-ubuntu22.04
(the last release with classic icc/icpc before Intel dropped it in oneAPI
2024.0), ci_test_compilers_gcc_old installs old GCCs on official ubuntu:20.04
via the same PPA/archive setup the custom image used (working around
actions/checkout's incompatibility with official gcc:4/5/6 images), and
ci_infer runs directly on ubuntu-latest, fetching Facebook's official Infer
release tarball inline instead of a maintained image. No job in
ubuntu.yml references the custom image anymore.

* Update quality-assurance compiler table for CI image migration

Reflects the ci_icpc/ci_test_compilers_gcc_old container migration: the
old-GCC jobs (4.8/4.9/5/6) now compile inside official ubuntu:20.04 rather
than the custom Focal-based json-ci image (same OS, just now attributed to
the official image), and ci_icpc now uses Intel's official
intel/oneapi-hpckit:2023.2.1-devel-ubuntu22.04, bumping the reported ICC
version from 2021.5.0 to 2021.10.0 and the OS from Ubuntu 20.04.3 to 22.04.

* Fix CI failures from the json-ci image migration

- ci_icpc: the official intel/oneapi-hpckit image has no CMake preinstalled
  (the custom image bundled one); add the missing lukka/get-cmake step.
- ci_test_compilers_gcc_old: official ubuntu:20.04 has no build tool, so
  CMake's default Unix Makefiles generator failed with "CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM
  is not set"; install make alongside the PPA-provided g++.
- ci_infer: Infer v1.1.0's bundled Clang frontend can't parse GCC 14's
  headers (ubuntu-latest's default toolchain), failing with parse errors in
  <bits/unicode.h>; bump to the latest release, v1.3.0, whose newer bundled
  frontend understands them (release asset also renamed upstream from
  infer-linux64-v1.1.0.tar.xz to infer-linux-x86_64-v1.3.0.tar.xz).

* Fix ci_test_compilers_gcc_old: g++-6 missing from xenial-only archives

My inline PPA/archive replication only added the xenial main/universe
suites, but g++-6 isn't available there ("has no installation candidate").
The original custom Dockerfile also pulled from bionic main/universe and
xenial-updates main/universe; add those back to match.

* Fix ci_test_compilers_gcc_old: install git for CMake's FetchContent tests

Official ubuntu:20.04 ships no git at all (actions/checkout only succeeded
via its API-download fallback). The cmake_fetch_content(2) tests invoke
CMake's own ExternalProject_Add, which needs a real git binary and failed
with "could not find git for clone of json-populate". Install git alongside
the other build prerequisites.

* Fix ci_icpc: drop redundant setvars.sh sourcing

Unlike the old custom image, the official intel/oneapi-hpckit image already
has the oneAPI environment (icc/icpc on PATH) baked in at the container
level. Explicitly re-sourcing setvars.sh in the Build step failed with
"setvars.sh has already been run. Skipping re-execution." (exit code 3,
aborting the step under `sh -e`). Drop the now-unnecessary sourcing.

* Fix ci_icpc: exclude classic ICC from the std::span regression test

Bumping to Intel's official intel/oneapi-hpckit:2023.2.1 image (see previous
commit) also bumped classic icc/icpc from 2021.5.0 to 2021.10.0. The newer
version's __has_include(<span>) now returns true, but it still can't
actually compile std::span/std::as_bytes usage:

  error: namespace "std" has no member "as_bytes"
  error: namespace "std" has no member "span"

Exclude __ICC/__INTEL_COMPILER the same way _LIBCPP_VERSION is already
excluded for issue #4490.

* Fix amalgamation/style check: indent comment per astyle

Verified with the pinned astyle 3.4.13 (make install_astyle) locally;
no further diff.

* Fix ci_icpc: skip UTF-8 u8-literal comparison test on classic ICC

test-deserialization_cpp20 failed:

  ERROR: CHECK( j2["emoji"] == "😀" ) is NOT correct!

check_utf8() only guards against MSVC's ANSI-codepage quirk (its docstring
example), but classic ICC has an analogous problem: it doesn't encode a
narrow string literal containing non-ASCII source characters as UTF-8,
so comparing a decoded u8R"(...)" literal against a narrow literal with
the same characters fails. Extend the existing guard.

Verified with the pinned astyle 3.4.13; no diff.
