Subject: [PATCH] ci: install conda with setup-miniconda in the Linux conda
 jobs

ubuntu-latest is now Ubuntu 26.04, whose image no longer ships Miniconda,
so $CONDA is unset and the Linux build and test jobs failed with
'conda: command not found'. Use setup-miniconda, as the Windows jobs
already do, and pass the cached pkgs_dirs through its pkgs-dirs input
(it rewrites ~/.condarc). Same as IntelPython/mkl_random#207.
