Subject: [PATCH] github-ci: add debug validation to almalinux 10 build

After the distcheck, this build doesn't need unittests, so add
debug-validation, as this can trigger assertions in our lib examples
that are tested in this job

This triggers a debug-validation error in the custom library example.

Ticket: #8259
