Upgrade GCE Ubuntu jobs from 22.04 to 24.04 LTS

Switch from hardcoded ubuntu-2204-jammy image names to using
KUBE_GCE_IMAGE_FAMILY=ubuntu-2404-lts-amd64. This ensures jobs
automatically use the latest image in the family and avoids
cluster initialization timeouts caused by slow containerd
downloads on outdated images.

Updated jobs:
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-ubuntu-gce-containerd
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-gci-gce-serial-containerd
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-gci-gce-serial-containerd-flaky
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-serial-gce
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-gce-ingress-lb-controllers-e2e-k8s-master
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-ubuntu-gce-network-proxy-ipvs
- ci-kubernetes-e2e-gci-gce-iscsi-serial
