For jobs which do not require a version matrix, such as some testing runs, use the latest runner image. Pinning the images unnecessarily causes more work later on when deciding when to upgrade and may cause more issues when older images brownout.

Binaries needs to be updated as well, but can be done separately. Going to get this merged rather than wait for brownout to end. |
