Why

The runners' Azure Ubuntu mirror (azure.archive.ubuntu.com) stopped resolving this afternoon. "Install valgrind" then failed with exit 100 and took "Checks, tests and replay" down before any check ran: #172's merge-group run and #179's rerun both failed this way.

Changes

The step now points apt at archive.ubuntu.com directly and retries the update and install up to three times. apt still verifies the archive's signatures, and the instruction-count guard still runs under callgrind as before.

Verification

Checked locally: the source rewrite on a copy of the runner's deb822 sources and mirror list, the no-match case under bash -eo pipefail, and actionlint. This PR's own Checks job is the live test of the step.

The runners' Azure Ubuntu mirror stopped resolving, so apt could not
download valgrind and Checks, tests and replay failed before any check
ran. Point apt at archive.ubuntu.com directly and retry the install up
to three times. apt still verifies the archive's signatures.
