With April passed, Ubuntu 16.04 has now reached its end-of-life and I'd
really like to replace it for CI testing. I've prepared the minimum
changes in https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/752 ,
without changing to Guile 2.2 (wasn't planned for this step anyway as
later on clarified in this thread) and without raising the minimum
version of Python.
