Ubuntu Image Analyzer Configuration Update

This PR updates the Ubuntu Actions Image Analyzer workflow based on the request in #11903.

Changes Made

1. Schedule: Changed from daily to weekly execution

   • Updated schedule: daily to schedule: weekly
   • Updated description to reflect weekly schedule

2. Output Location: Changed from specs/ to research/ folder

   • Updated target file path from specs/ubuntulatest.md to research/ubuntulatest.md
   • Updated all documentation references to reflect new location
   • Updated bash tool allowlist to reference new path

Modified Files

• .github/workflows/ubuntu-image-analyzer.md - Main workflow configuration

Impact

• Reduced execution frequency: The workflow will now run weekly instead of daily, reducing resource usage
• New output location: Analysis reports will be saved to the research/ folder instead of specs/
• No functional changes: The workflow logic and analysis process remain unchanged

Validation

✅ Workflow compiles successfully with gh-aw compile ubuntu-image-analyzer
✅ No errors reported during compilation
✅ Only source .md file modified (lock file will be regenerated automatically)
