github: use fedora:40 image for testing

instead of using ubuntu:jammy and setup-cpp action for prepearing
the building toolchain, use fedora:40 container for building and
testing.

after switching to the github workflow based CI, we've been
seeing test failures due to networking issue:

```
  Failed to install llvm via system package manager Error: Command failed with exit code 35: curl -LJO https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh

  curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: Broken pipe in connection to apt.llvm.org:443
```

since fedora 40 comes with all the dependencies we need, let's
build and test in a container with the fedora:40 image. with,
hopefully the better CDN of the docker, and more reliable mirrors
of fedora repositories, and the package retrievial machinary built
into fedora's package management tools, we should have a more
resilient CI.
