Fix `FileNotFoundException` errors when running tests on Ubuntu 24.04.
Tests were failing because the user data directory did not exist in the
new GitHub Ubuntu-24.04 runner environment.
The change:
- Updates all GitHub Actions workflows to use `ubuntu-24.04`
- Creates `~/.local/share` directory in CI pipeline to ensure the user
data directory exists during tests
This resolves the blocking issue that prevented the Ubuntu upgrade by
ensuring the required directory structure exists in the CI environment.
