Apache 2.4 has been out since early 2012, almost 11 years. And its
predecessor, 2.2, has been out of support since its last release in
2017, over 5 years ago. The last mention on the mailing list was from
around the same time, in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20171231023234.21215-1-tmz@pobox.com/
We can probably assume that 2.4 is available everywhere. And the stakes
are fairly low, as the worst case is that such a platform would skip the
http tests.
This lets us clean up a few minor version checks in the config file, but
also revert f1f2b45be0 (tests: adjust the configuration for Apache 2.2,
2016-05-09). Its technique isn't _too_ bad, but certainly required a bit
more explanation than the 2.4 version it replaced. I manually confirmed
that the test in t5551 still behaves as expected (if you replace
"cadabra" with "foo", the server correctly rejects the request).
It will also help future patches which will no longer have to deal with
conditional config for this old version.

Apache 2.2 was released in 2005, almost 18 years ago. We can probably
assume that people are running a version at least that old (and the
stakes for removing it are fairly low, as the worst case is that they
would not run the http tests against their ancient version).
Dropping support for the older versions cleans up the config file a
little, and will also enable us to bump the required version further
(with more cleanups) in a future patch.
Note that the file actually checks for version 2.1. In apache's
versioning scheme, odd numbered versions are for development and even
numbers are for stable releases. So 2.1 and 2.2 are effectively the same
from our perspective.
Older versions would just fail to start, which would generally cause us
to skip the tests. However, we do have version detection code in
lib-httpd.sh which produces a nicer error message, so let's update that,
too. I didn't bother handling the case of "3.0", etc. Apache has been on
2.x for 21 years, with no signs of bumping the major version. And if
they eventually do, I suspect there will be enough breaking changes that
we'd need to update more than just the numeric version check. We can
worry about that hypothetical when it happens.

On platforms where `size_t` does not have the same width as `unsigned
long`, passing a pointer to the former when a pointer to the latter is
expected can lead to problems.
Windows and 32-bit Linux are among the affected platforms.
In this instance, we want to store the size of the blob that was read in
that variable. However, `read_blob_data_from_index()` passes that
pointer to `read_object_file()` which expects an `unsigned long *`.
Which means that on affected platforms, the variable is not fully
populated and part of its value is left uninitialized. (On Big-Endian
platforms, this problem would be even worse.)
The consequence is that depending on the uninitialized memory's
contents, we may erroneously reject perfectly fine attributes.
Let's address this by passing a pointer to a variable of the expected
data type.

The old version we currently use runs in node.js v12.x, which is being
deprecated in GitHub Actions. The new version uses node.js v16.x.
Incidentally, this also avoids the warning about the deprecated
`::set-output::` workflow command because the newer version of the
`github-script` Action uses the recommended new way to specify outputs.

Adjust the GitHub CI to newer ubuntu release.
* jx/ci-ubuntu-fix:
ci: install python on ubuntu
ci: use the same version of p4 on both Linux and macOS
ci: remove the pipe after "p4 -V" to catch errors
github-actions: run gcc-8 on ubuntu-20.04 image
Update GitHub CI to use actions/checkout@v3; use of the older
checkout@v2 gets annoying deprecation notices.
* od/ci-use-checkout-v3-when-applicable:
ci(main): upgrade actions/checkout to v3
