Description

**Describe the feature you'd like**
PennyLane-Lightning (`lightning.qubit`, `lightning.kokkos` and `lightning.gpu`) PyPI packages are built on `manylinux2014` (CentOS 7 with `glibc` 2.17) up to version 0.36.0. CentOS 7 will reach EOL on June 30th, 2024. As a result, we have updated the PennyLane-Lightning simulators' build system to use the `manylinux_2_28` toolchain, which includes `glibc` version 2.28. This change means that next releases of PennyLane-Lightning simulators will no longer support older distributions that cannot meet the glibc 2.28 requirements.

**How would this feature be used? Please describe.**
PR https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane-lightning/pull/667 updates the build system of PennyLane-Lightning simulators to be based on `manylinux_2_28`. These new Linux wheels should be tested on Amazon Braket Linux systems to ensure compatibility and support.
