GHA supports Ubuntu 22 and 24 LTS; we currently use 24 (latest) to build release binaries, which picks up a dependency on newer glibc. This is optional, so with this we switch to older Ubuntu. Similarly, switch to older macOS (macos-14 - first supported version on ARM) to reduce build requirements. Windows builds statically link the runtime so should in theory run on any OS.
For regular builds, macOS version for ARM builds was hardcoded and already one version behind; to avoid this version getting constantly stale, use -latest here.
