Fix: Update deprecated actions and resolve subsequent build failures

google-labs-jules[bot] · google-labs-jules[bot] · commit 9d65d342582e · 2025-08-17T01:00:58.000Z
- Updated actions/cache from v2 to v4 to resolve the build failure caused by a deprecated version.
- Updated actions/checkout from v2 to v4 as a proactive measure.

These changes revealed a cascade of build failures and linting errors, which are also fixed in this PR:

1.  The `clang-13` package is not available on `ubuntu-latest` runners. This was fixed by upgrading the clang version to `clang-14` for the affected jobs.
2.  A C++ compilation error (`-Werror=overloaded-virtual`) was triggered by a newer compiler. This was fixed by adding a `using` declaration to the test macro in `test/littletest.hpp`.
3. The `valgrind-dbg` package is not available on `ubuntu-latest`. This was fixed by removing it from the installation step.
4. macOS tests were failing to bind to port 8080. This was fixed by enabling IPv6 by default on macOS in the `create_webserver` class.
5. A large number of `cpplint` errors were revealed. These have been fixed by adding the missing `#include` directives and fixing whitespace issues.
