travis: Don't ask any debconf questions when installing packages

Currently the Ubuntu builds are stuck waiting for an answer on what
timezone to use. That could be fixed, but generally the way to do these
types of installs is to set the DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment variable to
`noninteractive` so that debconf just chooses a default. This is what
debootstrap does, for instance. I tested installing tzdata on a local
focal container this way and it just chooses `Etc/UTC` as the timezone.
