Upgrade CI ubuntu version to 24.04

Required dependencies are all updated, such as
- clang-format-18
- LLVM 18
- fix an issue with pip3 install
- fix an issue with testing gdbstub (notice that the
riscv-gnu-toolchain releases are built using ubuntu 22.04, thus, we need
to install libpython3.10 for the CI pipeline to work)
