The `--dump-cpp-ast` file tests strip references to Clang builtins so
that the expected output is target-independent. The filter anchored a
`__`-prefixed builtin identifier on a preceding space or quote, which
matches the x86-64 `__va_list_tag` spelling but not the AArch64
`std::__va_list`, where `__` is preceded by the `::` namespace
qualifier. That left a single `RecordType 'std::__va_list'` line
unfiltered on AArch64, producing a spurious autoupdate diff for
`thunk_ast.carbon`.
Anchor the match on a preceding `:` as well so namespace-qualified
builtins are also filtered.
Carbon's test workflow covered Linux on x86-64 and macOS on AArch64, but
had no Linux AArch64 coverage, so AArch64-specific issues that don't
reproduce on macOS could land unnoticed. Add an `ubuntu-22.04-arm`
runner to the matrix.
The release used for Linux does not publish the monolithic
`LLVM-*-Linux-ARM64` package, only a `clang+llvm-*-aarch64-linux-gnu`
community build with a smaller tool set, so the Ubuntu setup now selects
the tarball by `runner.arch`. The prune step uses `rm -f` since the two
packages do not ship an identical set of tools to remove.

In addition to the general updates, this switches to a required python
3.10 for pre-commit (3.9 is losing support from black).
Note endpoints for build actions are expanding significantly: see
https://app.stepsecurity.io/github/carbon-language/carbon-lang/actions/runs/22779388360?tab=recommendations&jobId=66080970460
for example, I think just the sources are being increased as a
side-effect of updates (and possibly also things not performing as well
as they should have before).
Similarly allowing sudo in pre-commit because it was actually causing
errors in part of build setup, which used sudo to remove files.

The Ubuntu 24 builders have a newer GLIBC than is present on the
compiler-explorer machines:
https://github.com/compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer/issues/7636#issuecomment-2880962252.
This results in the following error when running Carbon nightly:
```
/opt/compiler-explorer/carbon-trunk/bin/carbon: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /opt/compiler-explorer/carbon-trunk/bin/carbon)
```
To resolve this, we need to build Carbon in a sysroot with a compatible
glibc version, and the most straightforward way to do that is to bump
our builders back down to Ubuntu 22.
To do that, we can't use apt.llvm.org again, since Ubuntu 22 is no
longer supported there. So we revert back to pulling a Linux X64 tarball
from the LLVM GitHub Releases page. Instead of getting an
ubuntu-specific tarball (which does not exist), we grab the generic
Linux one, which seems to work fine.
Note that the binaries in the LLVM release package appear to depend on
glibc version 2.34, as determined by `objdump -T bin/clang|grep GLIBC_|
sed 's/.*GLIBC_\([.0-9]*\).*/\1/g' | sort -Vu`, so these binaries should
hopefully be okay to package with the Carbon toolchain for the
compiler-explorer machines as well.
The version of clangd/clang-tidy on developer machines has slowly
diverged from the one on the CI builders, which is causing a slowly
increasing amount of pain as clang-tidy CI runs fail (incorrectly) over
things that a newer clangd/clang-tidy was perfectly fine with locally.
This bumps the Clang version used in the ubuntu builders to 19, which is
the most recent in Debian stable.
We use https://apt.llvm.org instead of LLVM's GitHub releases
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases) as the former more
reliably has packages for newer Clang/LLVM versions on x64. The
community-build releases binaries on LLVM's GitHub have stopped
including Ubuntu packages that match the GitHub x64 Ubuntu workers for
some time (for at least the 18 and 19 releases).
By moving to apt.llvm.org packages we only download and install the
headers and libraries needed for development, rather than every output
of building llvm, which is much faster and saves lots of disk space. We
also remove the system installations of other versions of clang/llvm so
we should end up using negative disk space. We can no longer easily
cache the installation but apt.llvm.org is a reliable end point.
We bump the ubuntu image version for the github workers to 24.04, as
apt.llvm.org has stopped building images for 22.10 in 2022 at its end of
life.
The `pre_commit` workflow disabled sudo unlike the other workflows that
install Clang/LLVM, including the `clang-tidy` workflow (which is also
run on `pull_request`). We bring it into alignment with the other
workflows so that we can install the llvm packages. And we lock its
ubuntu image to 24.04 so that it can be moved in lockstep with the other
workflows that depend on Clang/LLVM.

Because clang-tidy is slow (and I'm not sure we can make it really
fast), trying to run it slightly less. Also, I noticed we can shave a
few minutes by disabling apt removal without losing too much free space.
Note that since this removes the old clang-tidy, I'll need to change the
branch protections before merging.
There is still a lot more we should try to do here, but this gets us
a decent start and should be enough for some of the developers working
on Carbon to use for simple cases, or tools like Compiler Explorer.
This first factors most of the complex setup for our CI workflow into
local actions that we can reuse in other workflows. It's actually
a fairly nice cleanup I think even without the specific use case of
a nightly release process. These use "composite" actions which is the
cleanest model for factoring out a subsequence of steps from a workflow.
I've tried to keep the inputs fairly minimal and easy to spot.
Next, it adds a cron-scheduled action that builds and creates a nightly
release. It also supports explicitly running the workflow, which can be
useful if the nightly release is broken in some way: a fix can be landed
and then a force run used.
Tested the `tests` workflow using our `action-test` branch:
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/actions/runs/9545546278
Also tested the nightly release action by hacking in a `push` trigger
and using *draft* release. If you have admin rights, you can see an
example draft nightly build here:
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/releases/tag/untagged-6a85cdce7b3a784a2e6b
Note that the GitHub releases are easily deleted, and even the tags
created in the repository can be cleaned up as needed so it should be
fairly harmless to fix this forward if needed.
