ubuntu-slim is a new cost-efficient runner to fit lightweight jobs. We can use this to save ASF infra usage (if possible). By *lightweight* I mean jobs that run for less than a minute and are not easily affected by other concurrently running jobs on the same host. This topic was raised in the Apache ORC project and later adopted by iceberg-cpp. We believe it could also benefit other projects under the Apache Iceberg umbrella.

I think we can also configure the same for license-check.yml / stale.yml / open-api.yml

license-check.yml requires Java to be installed, which ubuntu-slim does not provide. So I applied the change only to stale.yml and open-api.yml. Thanks for catching this.
