Breaking changes

• switch to llvm-12 (from llvm-10) and to gcc-10 (from gcc-8) ; not technically a breaking change (older versions of toolchains still work), but instead reflects what the currently tested toolchains are. Main implication is that we’re prioritizing testing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS instead of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (that is EOL soon).
