ci: Use BuildJet Ubuntu 20.04 runners for better glibc compatibility (#18442)

Peter Tripp created 1 year ago

Use BuildJet Ubuntu 20.04 runners.
- Linux arm64 unchanged (glibc >= 2.35)
- Linux x64 glibc requirement becomes to >= 2.31 (from glibc >= 2.35).

Note: Ubuntu 20.04 repo cmake (3.16.3) is normally too old to build Zed, but `ubuntu-2004` [includes cmake
3.30.3](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2004-Readme.md#tools).

 Both Nix and Alpine have third-party Zed packages available (though they are currently a few weeks out of date). If you'd like to use our builds they do work if you install a glibc compatibility layer. On NixOS you can try [nix-ld](https://github.com/Mic92/nix-ld), and on Alpine [gcompat](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs).
