docs: autopkgtest: refresh the docs with up-to-date information

Browse Source 
@iainlane doesn't work on Ubuntu infrastructure anymore, and `bionic` is still ESM, but not really supported anymore either.  
`noble`, which is the latest Ubuntu, probably is better for testing `systemd` in 2024, and pinging `qa-help` on IRC is the current official way to contact the team behind Ubuntu's infrastructure.

systemd's GitHub project has webhooks that trigger autopkgtests on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on three architectures:
* i386: 32 bit x86, little endian, QEMU (OpenStack cloud instance)
* amd64: 64 bit x86, little endian, QEMU (OpenStack cloud instance)
* arm64: 64 bit ARM, little endian, QEMU (OpenStack cloud instance)
* s390x: 64 bit IBM z/Series, big endian, LXC (this architecture is not yet available in Canonical's OpenStack and thus skips some tests)

The current tests are fairly solid by now, but rarely they fail on infrastructure/network issues or race conditions.
If you encounter these, please notify @iainlane in the GitHub PR for debugging/fixing those -- transient infrastructure issues are supposed to be detected automatically, and tests auto-retry on those; and flaky tests should of course be fixed properly.

But sometimes it is useful to trigger tests on a different Ubuntu release too, for example to test a PR on a newer kernel or against current build/binary dependencies (cgroup changes, util-linux, gcc, etc.).
This can be done using the generic [retry-github-test](https://git.launchpad.net/autopkgtest-cloud/tree/charms/focal/autopkgtest-cloud-worker/autopkgtest-cloud/tools/retry-github-test) script from [Ubuntu's autopkgtest infrastructure](https://git.launchpad.net/autopkgtest-cloud): you need the parameterized URL from the [configured webhooks](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/settings/hooks) and the shared secret (Ubuntu's CI needs to restrict access to avoid DoSing and misuse).

This will build `autopkgtest-noble-amd64.img`.
This is normally being used through the `autopkgtest` command (see below), but you can boot this normally in QEMU (using `-snapshot` is highly recommended) to interactively poke around; this provides a easy throw-away test environment.

The most basic mode of operation is to run the tests for the current distro packages:

But autopkgtest allows lots of [different modes](https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/blob/master/doc/README.running-tests.rst) and [options](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/autopkgtest), like running a shell on failure (`-s`), running a single test only (`--test-name`), running the tests from a local checkout of the Debian source tree (possibly with modifications to the test) instead of from the distribution source, or running QEMU with more than one CPU (check the [autopkgtest-virt-qemu manpage](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/autopkgtest-virt-qemu).
