Please fix broken ubuntu

[JAuriac]

Depends on an update of :
https://github.com/pdidev/test_env/blob/v3/.github/workflows/debuntu_docker_images.yml

[benoitmartin88]

@JAuriac Could you take a look at pdidev/test_env#24 ?

[benoitmartin88]

Also, tests are failing on macos-26. @Yushan-Wang Any ideas ?

What I found:
Apple has been updating compression libraries in newer macOS versions. The issue is often with zlib version differences (macOS 15+ ships with newer zlib)
Shall we try the macos-latest? or macos-15-intel? @JAuriac

@Yushan-Wang I think the error is due to something else. I just had a talk with @tpadioleau, and he has a bug on mac os on the same tests. We believe that the test is bugged. The test allocates a double** with multiple calls to new. Later, the double** is exposed in PDI and it is assumed that the data is contiguous, which may not be the case because of the may the double** is allocated.

For ubuntu/jammy, we are waiting for pdidev/test_env#25

Changed the double** for a vector to get continuous memory. May require another PR as this issue may require an independent fix.

[jbigot]

The PR should change the minimum versions in all cmake files & in spack.yaml at the root, ensure that the workarounds in build_and_run_all_tests for older versions are removed and document that in both the changelogs and in doxygen.

[jbigot]

Please list the impact for users as done in previous situations: list all minimum version changes in the changelog of each subproject.

[JAuriac]

Changed from :
CMake 3.16, NetCDF 4.7, Python 3.8, mpi4py 3.0, numpy 1.17, pybind11 2.4
toward :
CMake 3.22, NetCDF 4.9, Python 3.10, mpi4py 3.1, numpy 1.21, pybind11 2.10
to account for oldest non-EOL Ubuntu

[benoitmartin88]

Unrelated changes should be in a separate PR and solve an identified issue.
