Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged. Updated CI configuration to run Linux QA tests on GitHub-hosted runners, aligning with Platform Engineering guidelines for public repositories. Approved by two reviewers.

Issue body
I got a query from @cbartz about why we're using hosted runners for Charmcraft QA rather than GH-hosted runners, as Platform Engineering would prefer we use GH-hosted runners when possible for public repos. This makes this change.
Note that this only affects linux runners on the QA workflow.
