Adds temporary workaround to enable spread tests on ubuntu-26.04 backends by using ubuntu-daily:26.04 images. PR is 207 days old with no review activity; the 26.04 backend support was later added via PR #1155 and test infrastructure was restructured in #1168.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The PR is 207 days old with zero comments and no review activity. The underlying issue (ubuntu:26.04 not existing in LXD) has since been addressed by PR #1155 which added 26.04/26.10 spread backend support, and the test infrastructure has evolved significantly (PR #1168 deprecated spread.yaml in favor of per-app test yaml files). The temporary workaround this PR proposed is likely superseded by these changes.

Issue body

- [ ] Have you followed the guidelines for contributing? - [ ] Have you signed the [CLA](http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/contributors/)? - [ ] Have you successfully run `make lint && make test`? - [ ] Have you added an entry to the changelog (`docs/reference/changelog.rst`)? --- The `ubuntu-26.04` backend cannot parse into a LXD backend because `ubuntu:26.04` doesn't yet exist - users instead must use `ubuntu-daily:26.04` for such images. This PR adds a temporary workaround to get us able to test on 26.04, but a larger task will be necessary for arriving at a long-term solution.
