[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/1] ci: doc: Replace Ubuntu bionic with noble

Replace Ubuntu 18.04 LTS bionic with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS noble (the latest
Ubuntu LTS).

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS bionic EOL 3 years ago (2023-04). Repositories were
publicly available until now, remove it to fix CI.

Exact error is missing Packages file

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-backports/InRelease Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.82 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/universe/binary-amd64/Packages Connection timed out [IP: 91.189.92.23 80]

which causes gcc not being installed.

Although repository has Packages.gz and Packages.xz (therefore it
should somehow work or it might be GitHub Actions issue) we don't need
to keep bionic (we have older distro openSUSE Leap 42), which we still
use for testing SLE1-SP2 build).
