chore: switch to ubuntu-22.04 for better availability

- Removed unsupported --tor-mode argument from onionshare-cli calls in E2E script and tests.
- Fixed NameError: name 'os' is not defined in tests/test_e2e.py.
- Removed trailing whitespace in voxvera/cli.py.
- Verified all tests pass locally including E2E.
