ci: upgrade to gcc-11 on ubuntu-18.04

In https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/14150 , investigations showed
that using an older gcc to build the appimage could result in severe
perf issues. This is because older gcc versions happily replace calls to
libc functions with their own, which happen to be less optimized than
their libc counterparts.

We fix this problem by upgrading to gcc-11 on ubuntu-18.04.
