Brief description of tool

Pip, the Python package manager, is installed with v22.0.2 under ubuntu-latest. This has a bug, fixed in pip v22.0.3 in January 2022, that can cause Read the Docs builds to fail, see this other issue. Updating to v22.0.3 or later fixes this issue.

On windows-latest (and also under macos-latest), pip is on v24.0, so this is also about bringing Ubuntu in sync with Windows if it can be upgraded to v24. However, v22.0.3 would suffice too for this particular user-case; nevertheless, I recommend updating pip to v24, i.e. latest.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

I wouldn't venture into it; the change itself should be trivial but I'm not sure about the context.
