[chef] [chore] Upgrade CI workers for chef tests (#5811)

The tests for old systems (amazonlinux-2, opensuse-12, oraclelinux-7) was removed. Newer versions of Chef v18.x+ come with ruby 3.1 which requires glibc 2.28. The removed systems go with glibc 2.26. We could've test them with an old Chef version 17.x, but it has reached EOL.
