  • What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Bug fix

  • What is the current behavior?

The ubuntu-16.04 runner is used for the Linux job used to build and test the application in the "build" GitHub Actions workflow. That runner has now been removed by GitHub:
https://github.blog/changelog/2021-04-29-github-actions-ubuntu-16-04-lts-virtual-environment-will-be-removed-on-september-20-2021/
This causes the workflow runs to fail:
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-language-server/actions/runs/1268446237

build (ubuntu-16.04)
This request was automatically failed because there were no enabled runners online to process the request for more than 1 days.

  • What is the new behavior?

We will use the runner with the oldest version of Ubuntu that is now available as a GitHub-hosted runner: ubuntu-18.04.

The reason for using the oldest available Ubuntu version is to provide compatibility with the widest possible range of Linux versions for the users of the Arduino Language Server.
