Update builder image to ubuntu-20.04

wnienhaus · wnienhaus · commit 27901a8497d9 · 2022-09-01T08:51:05.000+03:00
GitHub has deprecated the ubuntu-18.04 builder image. So before that builder image is entirely removed, this commit updates the build process to use the ubuntu-20.04 image instead. This commit also installs an older verion of GCC (v7) because binutils-esp32ulp does not build successfully on Ubuntu 20.04 with the default GCC version (v9). (This solution was found here: espressif/binutils-esp32ulp#19 (comment)) Fixes: micropython#80
