Hardcoding pip version for workflows

[benmalef]

Brief description

This PR tries to fix the following error with the new version of pip(24.1.1). Latest pip (24.1, released on 06/20/2024) does not install omegaconf==2.1.0 due to non-standard metadata:

DEPRECATION: omegaconf 2.1.0 has a non-standard dependency specifier PyYAML>=5.1.*. pip 24.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to upgrade to a newer version of omegaconf or contact the author to suggest that they release a version with a conforming dependency specifiers. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063

Solution

In this thread is the solution.
It is proposed to update the pip version in the files.
