CI: stop running apt upgrade on Ubuntu runners - #1609

Conversation
`sudo apt upgrade` upgraded every preinstalled package on the runner image (apache2, firefox, snapd, ssh, curl, tzdata, ...), none of which the build uses. The firefox upgrade installs a snap, so the job depended on api.snapcraft.io being reachable. An HTTP 408 from it failed the Ubuntu clang build on main (run 39057056406) before compiling anything. `apt install` still upgrades any dependency that the installed packages need, so dropping the blanket upgrade only skips unrelated packages and saves about a minute per Ubuntu job.

Summary
sudo apt upgradefrom the Ubuntu dependency step incpp-ci-serial-programs-base.yml.Why
The Ubuntu clang job on main (run 39057056406) failed before compiling anything.
apt upgradewas upgrading all 22 preinstalled packages that had updates (apache2, firefox, snapd, ssh, curl, tzdata, ...). The firefox package now installs a snap, and fetching it fromapi.snapcraft.iotimed out with HTTP 408, so dpkg failed and the step exited with code 100.None of those packages are used by the build.
apt installstill upgrades any dependency thatclang-tools,libopencv-dev,libsystemd-devor the libdpp .deb need, so the only change is that unrelated packages are no longer upgraded. Each Ubuntu job also gets about a minute faster.Test plan
