Build Equinox launcher for linux.x86_64 on debian-12

[HannesWell]

The image 'platformreleng-centos-swt-build:8' cannot be built anymore and is therefore not updated.
Align with SWT and use the debian-12 image instead.

This will increase the GLIBC version requirement to version 2.34, see eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt#1422 (comment)

@akurtakov can you please check with the binaries built in https://ci.eclipse.org/releng/job/equinox/job/PR-722/2/ which GLIBC version is required?

Thank you.
So it means that, just like for SWT where it is already the case, as soon as this is submitted, the launcher will for example not work on Debian-11 anymore.
