new 87bb3d2e Run CI on the latest runner images (#305)
87bb3d2e is described below
commit 87bb3d2ef5f626e8ac8db28976a01af51427a984

Run CI on the latest runner images (#305)
macos-14 and ubuntu-22.04 are superseded by macos-latest (macOS 26) and
ubuntu-latest (Ubuntu 24.04). Neither new image ships Mono, so net4x
tests cannot run there - which is why log4net.Tests restricts net462 to
Windows. Correct the reason given in BUILDING.md and the changelog.
