The default PHP_IMAGE_VARIANT is changed from 'apache' to 'ubuntu-apache'

When Drupal 11 became the "current" core major version to test against, the SQLite version had to be increased, which was achieved by using the ubuntu-apache images, instead of the existing apache versions which were the default for versions up to Drupal 10.

The new default value for PHP_IMAGE_VARIANT is 'ubuntu-apache', and this is automatically set to 'apache' when testing "previous major" using the OPT_IN_TEST_PREVIOUS_MAJOR:1 flag.

Log information
