Description

The install documentation at docs/root/start/install.rst includes an
apt-based install path for Ubuntu 24.04 (noble), but
https://apt.envoyproxy.io does not currently publish a noble release.
Users following the documented commands hit a 404 on apt-get update:

Err:5 https://apt.envoyproxy.io noble Release
  404  Not Found

This change removes the broken Ubuntu noble code-tab block and
replaces it with a .. note:: block that:

This matches the maintainer's stated preference in the issue thread:

this is currently not working im afraid - it requires some
rearchitecting - possibly we should remove from docs until its fixed


Commit Message: docs: remove broken Ubuntu noble install instructions

Additional Description: Replaced the non-functional Ubuntu noble
apt install code-tab with a note pointing affected users to the working
Docker / GitHub-release install paths, and linking the tracking issue.

Risk Level: Low

Testing: Documentation-only change; no code changes, no tests added
or modified. Visually verified the resulting RST renders as a .. note::
admonition immediately after the existing Debian-based tabs.

Docs Changes: This is the docs change. docs/root/start/install.rst
updated.

Release Notes: None — documentation-only fix to existing instructions
that were broken at publication time.

Fixes #44405


Note on AI assistance: This change was prepared with AI assistance per
the generative AI policy.
The submitter understands the change, has reviewed the resulting RST, and
will respond to review feedback directly.

The install documentation showed an apt-based install path for Ubuntu
24.04 (noble), but apt.envoyproxy.io does not currently publish a noble
release. Users following the docs hit a 404 on apt-get update.

Replace the broken code-tab with a note that points users to the
pre-built Docker images and the GitHub release binaries, and references
the tracking issue.

Fixes envoyproxy#44405
