update CircleCI base image

[nicholascioli]

This commit fixes an issue with a downstream dependency (aws-lc-sys) caused by using an old version of GCC by updating the base CircleCI image to current.

This was realistically a long-time coming because the previous tag of stable was deprecated in favor of current back in 2022.

Below is a quote from the docker hub page explaining the change to the tag names:

current - This image tag points to the latest, production ready base image. This is a replacement for the old stable tag. This image should be used by projects that want a decent level of stability but would like to get occasional software updates. It is typically updated once a month.

A required dependency was not found during setup, so I've added a sudo apt-get update to the setup instructions to repopulate the package cache. This does add some non-determinism to the build process, since packages can update between invocations of CircleCI, but it should be mitigated by the fact that only security and patch updates are pushed to LTS versions of Ubuntu.
