Add support for Ubuntu 24.04

[Sohan-Opstree]

Could you please confirm if this Ansible role supports Ubuntu 24.04? If not, could you consider adding support for it? This would enable us to use the role directly to install the driver on Ubuntu 24.04.

Also here for Ubuntu 24.04 support?

We have a basic setup of this role in our test lab, we only install the drivers without advanced tuning. This works well with Ubuntu 24.04.

I had to define two variables in the inventory since the default ones use unavailable versions of packages.

$ cat host_vars/gpulab2.yml
