GHA/checksrc: switch xmllint job to Linux (from macOS)

macOS was chosen because xmllint comes preinstalled, saving the prereq
install step. But, macOS's xmllint jobs sometimes doesn't finish in 1m
(instead of under 1 second) and gets cancelled, causing flaky failures.
Go with Linux and an install phase (of 15s) instead.

Examples:

Closes #19634
