CI: Update to Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04

Github actions will drop support for 18.04 April 1, 2023. There
are now sporadic test cancelations due to warning brownouts, and
the NumPy 1.24.x release will overlap that date, so increase the Ubuntu
version.

The main change here is that there is no support for gcc-6 in Ubuntu
20.04, so testing with that version is also dropped.
