CI: speed up gcc and clang-format Ubuntu runs

This is an attempt to speed up the gcc and clang-format CI jobs on the
Ubuntu runner, which spends between 2 and 3 minutes on apt-get update and
apt-get install.

Without apt-get update, the installation of the dependencies (ccache, z3,
clang-format) now takes 20 seconds.
