ci: improve reliability

[JeyJeyGao]

Background: as the default ubuntu-latest runner has upgraded to ubuntu-24.04, we need to ensure compatibility with older OS versions if we release the binary on a new runner as the dotnet building process depends on OS libraries (for example, GLIBC).

CI:

• Unit test pipeline

  • added unit test on Linux arm64 and windows x64.

• E2E pipeline

  • built linux-x64 binary on ubuntu-24.04 and tested on ubuntu-22.04, ubuntu-24.04 and mcr.microsoft.com/cbl-mariner/base/core:2.0 container.
  • built linux-arm64 binary on ubuntu-24.04-arm and tested on ubuntu-24.04-arm, ubuntu-22.04-arm.
  • built windows-x64 binary on windows-2022 and tested on windows-2022 and windows-2025 (GA).

• release pipeline

  • updated release pipeline to use ubuntu 24.04 for Linux and macOS binaries and windows-2022 for Windows binary.
  • removed ARM emulator from release pipeline and replaced with ubuntu-24.04-arm runner.

Test:

• fixed unit test on windows to avoid line ending symbol issue
• tested new release pipeline in forked repo

Note: win-x64 build generates a warning which is discussed here: dotnet/runtime#109958. It should be fixed in the future dotnet release.
