ci: enable virtualization HWE stack

[mkroening]

Ubuntu has announced to provide more recent QEMU versions to the LTS versions of Ubuntu:

• Ubuntu’s virtualization hardware enablement (HWE) stack: a new model for confidential computing enablement | Ubuntu
• Virtualization Hardware Enablement Stack - Ubuntu Server documentation

While qemu-hwe is still on the same version as qemu at the moment, upgrading to QEMU 11 would allow us to enable semihosting on aarch64_be.

Depends on:

• ci: upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 #2493

If we see any issues with the newer QEMU releases we will hopefully be able to fix them quickly and I believe those are going to occur very rarely if ever
