This patch fixes the LLVM project tests workflow on Linux. Two changes were needed. Firstly, some commands need to be performed with sudo now that the container executes as a non-root user. Second, we needed to change from `ubuntu-latest` to `ubuntu-22.04` as `ubuntu-latest` not defaults to `ubuntu-24.04` which causes `setup-python` to install a python executable linked against a newer version of glibc that is not found on ubuntu 22.04, which causes failures when CMake cannot execute the python interpreter that it finds.
