GHA: ubuntu-18.04 is gone #897

Closed tleedjarv closed 1 year ago

The current workflow won't run anymore.

Instead of just bumping ubuntu-18.04 to 20.04, I took a different route. These builds are for testing build compatibility, nothing more. Publishing the resulting binaries for users to download is a nice bonus only. So I went ahead and used GHA's Docker feature to run these builds on simulated older ubuntu releases (16.04 for now). This seems to work rather well, just sometimes a tiny bit slower due to having to install additional system packages. The published binaries are now also much more widely compatible with different systems.

I based this PR on #895 (the first commit here).

I merged other stuff so this maybe needs a rebase?
