Summary

Two of the three build-test-* matrix blocks in .github/workflows/build-test-publish.yml pinned the retired macos-13 runner image. Upgrade them (and their paired include: entries and the matrix.os == 'macos-13' Xcode-select conditional) to macos-14, matching the canonical runner triple [ubuntu-24.04, windows-2022, macos-14] used by other ITK remote modules (VkFFTBackend, WebAssemblyInterface, ...).

The build-test-python-superbuild job is intentionally left at macos-15 — the "never downgrade" rule wins over strict convergence on the house canonical.

The ubuntu-only build-test-documentation job is not touched.

Test plan

  • Confirm build-test-cxx runs cleanly on macos-14 (the Xcode 14.3.1 pinning step is still wired up — Xcode 14.3.1 ships in the macos-14 image).
  • Confirm build-test-notebooks passes on macos-14.
  • Confirm the build-test-python-superbuild job on macos-15 is unchanged by this PR.

The `build-test-cxx` job (and its paired `matrix.os == 'macos-*'`
XCode-select conditional) and the `build-test-notebooks` job in
.github/workflows/build-test-publish.yml pinned `macos-13`, which is
now a deprecated GitHub Actions runner image.  The
`build-test-python-superbuild` job already targets `macos-15`, so it
is intentionally left alone (the "do not downgrade" rule wins over
strict convergence on the house canonical).

Update the two `macos-13` entries -- matrix lines and include:
blocks, plus the matching `matrix.os == 'macos-13'` conditional that
selects the pinned Xcode 14.3.1 -- to `macos-14`.  This matches the
canonical runner triple `[ubuntu-24.04, windows-2022, macos-14]`
used by the other ITK remote modules (VkFFTBackend,
WebAssemblyInterface, ...) and keeps the Xcode pinning step wired up
(Xcode 14.3.1 is still shipped in the `macos-14` image).  The
`build-test-documentation` job is ubuntu-only and is not touched.

sudo xcode-select -s "/Applications/Xcode_14.3.1.app" causes an error. Xcode version should be updated in sync with the OS version.
