GitHub now provides an ubuntu-24.04 runner, in beta, so this adds that to the matrix for Ubuntu testing.

GitHub CI: Add 24.04 beta VM to the Ubuntu matrix

GitHub CI: Install pyyaml via apt not pip, for ubuntu 24.04+
0c2ba56 
Installing with pip3 on the ubuntu-24.04 VM gives an error that the
python environment is externally managed.  It suggests using "apt" to
install packages, or else to create a virtual environment (with "venv"),
or use pipx to manage a virtual environment for you.  This issue was
encountered for macos-14 and addressed in an earlier commit.  We apply
a similar patch here.  It's possible that the same "apt" command can be
used for all Ubuntu versions; but we check the Ubuntu version and only
use "apt" for 24+.

GitHub CI: Remove macos-11

This also reverts the additional 60 minutes added to timeouts for
macOS runners, that was added because Homebrew on macOS 11 needs
time to compile installed packages from source.

I've included a commit to remove macos-11 from the testing matrix, since the build is now failing due to exceeding the timeout. A combination of (1) that Homebrew no longer supports installing binary packages for macOS 11, so it had to compile from source; (2) that we added brew update to workaround an issue with GitHub's runners; and (3) that more packages have new versions since the macos-11 runner snapshot was made; means that the macos-11 runner is now exceeding the 90 minute timeout just in the "install dependencies" stage. We could increase the timeout, but that would be time spent in our CI each time it runs (and holding up other macOS jobs), so it's probably just time that we remove macos-11.

(The reason why so many packages are being installed is because we've run brew update before runing brew install for a large list of dependencies. We only needed update for the mactex package, so an option might be to run install for everything else, then run update, then install just for mactex -- which should greatly reduce the number of dependent packages that will get installed at newer versions. But it's probably not worth the time to experiment with it.)
