Moved linux/aarch64 build Python wheel build to native Github runners

[merschformann]

Description

This PR moves the linux/aarch64 build of the Python wheels to the recently released Github linux/aarch64 runners. This greatly simplifies and speeds up the Python wheel build, also, it addresses a current QEMU bug causing build errors.

Changes

• Moves linux/aarch64 Python wheels build to native Github runners.
• Harmonizes Python wheel for Linux to ubuntu-24.04*.
• Harmonizes Python wheel tests to cp311 (same as macOS.

Notes/Questions

• Addresses the issue at hand.
• Is this all that is needed right now? Happy to extend the fix, if necessary.
• This uses ubuntu-24.04-arm, since ubuntu-20.04 is not supported. I feel like the runners/builders should be aligned in their Ubuntu version. I didn't want to incur more change than necessary though. Should I align them?

Thank you so much for your help! Do you mean that we should use ubuntu 24 for all the workflows? Or just the python build ones? I see only one failing and I guess this should also be updated. Previously, I was trying to make sure we have tests on multiple ubuntu version runners, just to be on the safe side.

If you've spotted some inconsistencies, it would be great if you could modify the runners as you feel is more sensible.

I attempted to harmonize the Python wheel builds in the workflows a bit more using ubuntu-24.04* and cp311. I hope this makes sense. Let me know, if something is missing / needs to be changed. ☺️

Oh, and I missed your comment about multiple Ubuntu versions. If you prefer, we could extend the matrix to different combinations of Python and Ubuntu. Let me know if you have some in mind, I can add this as well. 😊

Thank you, @merschformann! This is great. I think I tested it once manually, and the wheels built on Ubuntu 24 still worked on older versions of Ubuntu, at least the Ubuntu 22 I tested on. Let's merge this as is, and if necessary, later on, we will add the previous versions.
