CI: Update GitHub Actions workflows

This commit updates the GitHub Actions workflows for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD).

Key changes:
- Updated `actions/checkout`, `actions/setup-java`, `actions/cache`, `actions/upload-artifact`, `gradle/actions/setup-gradle`, `gradle/actions/wrapper-validation` and `reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner` to their latest versions.
- Switched from `macos-latest` to `ubuntu-latest` for the `build_test_publish_job` in the CD workflow.
- Standardized Java setup to JDK 17 with 'oracle' distribution.
- Improved Gradle caching configuration.
- Updated Android UI test job:
    - Runs on `ubuntu-latest`.
    - Updated the matrix of API levels for testing.
    - Added KVM enablement for hardware acceleration.
    - Implemented AVD caching to speed up emulator startup.
    - Modified emulator options for better stability and performance.
    - Renamed artifact uploads for clarity.
