GHA: try workaround for slow Azure Ubuntu distro server
It's been going on for almost a year, chances seem slim to have this
fixed upstream.

The observed issue is that on GitHub-supplied CI runner images,
sometimes, `apt-get install` using the stock distro server
`http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu` sees extreme slowness while
downloading data, then reaching the job timeout and aborting, making CI
red and necessitating a manual restart of the failed job(s).

In majority of cases the install step takes no longer than 8-40 seconds
(download + install), while in the failing case it takes 10-20+ minutes
just to download.

Earlier I slimmed down installs to avoid unnecessary packages, which
mitigated, but did not completely fix the issue.
