ci: migrate some jobs to Debian Trixie, use GCC 14
✓ Specific, descriptive subject✓ Names a concrete action or component✓ Uses a recognizable type or scope! No meaningful explanatory body
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes which Linux distribution version Bitcoin Core's automated testing system uses for a handful of test jobs. It switches from Ubuntu 24.04 to Debian Trixie so the tests can run with a newer compiler (GCC 14). There is no change to the Bitcoin software itself, no user-facing change, and no security fix or vulnerability.
Recommended action
No security action needed. Treat as routine CI infrastructure maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff updates six CI environment setup scripts under ci/test/ to use mirror.gcr.io/debian:trixie instead of mirror.gcr.io/ubuntu:24.04. Two comments are updated to reference Debian Trixie package URLs and GCC 14. No application code, build system logic, dependencies, or configuration affecting shipped binaries is modified.
