Upgrade from ubuntu:jammy to ubuntu:noble

[benoit74]

Now that Ubuntu noble 24.04LTS has been released, I think it is time to migrate browsertrix images to it

I gave it a try without success so far.

Without other modification in the Dockerfile, installation fails with a weird error:

E: Package 'libasound2' has no installation candidate

Weird because libasound2 is supposed to still be present in Ubuntu noble, even if it is now a virtual package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/cs/noble/libasound2

I tried to install liboss4-salsa-asound2 instead of libasound2 (since libasound2 is a virtual package provided by liboss4-salsa-asound2 ...) but then brave installation fails

Others seems to have the same issue: microsoft/playwright#30368 (comment)

Edit: this is not a weird error but I was just mislead by information at https://packages.ubuntu.com/cs/noble/libasound2, there are two candidate packages for libasound2:

Package libasound2 is a virtual package provided by:
  liboss4-salsa-asound2 4.2-build2020-1ubuntu3
  libasound2t64 1.2.11-1build2 (= 1.2.11-1build2)
You should explicitly select one to install.

When installing libasound2t64, brave installation succeeds. Just like the whole image build.

I will submit a PR.
