Fix tox and GitHub actions settings (#217)

* Remove the branch constraint for pull request triggering
* Use Python 3.12 for main tests
* Use `ubuntu-20.04` for Python 3.6 since it's been removed in `ubuntu-latest`
* Remove Python 2.7 since it's not supported by GitHub Actions anymore (actions/setup-python#672)
* Add the missing `setup-python` step
* Merge the `pip install` commands
