Upgrade to ubuntu-24.04

[Damien-Chen]

Upgrade to ubuntu-24.04 and corresponding version of clang-format in Github Workflow.

[jserv]

At present, CONTRIBUTING.md suggests clang-format version 12, and we have to validate the compatibility of clang-format versions between 14 and 16.

[Damien-Chen]

It means that running same code on local ubuntu-24.04 machine with clang-format-16 and compare if it is same as in clang-format-12 ? As there is a note in CONTRIBUTING.md :
Software requirement: clang-format version 12 or later.

You should run various versions of clang-format on the existing codebase shipped in this repository to figure out the potential incompatibility. Once we confirm the compatibility, we can move forward.

I test two method, and the test code base is clean(forked from repo and nothing is modified)

The first result is showed as the above log. I use two version of clang-format to format all code, and use Git to check difference, the result show nothing.

The second is I use 'clang-format-14' to format my code, and push it to my owk fork branch(run clang-format-16 coding sytle test). Thes result is pass.
