gce: Update Ubuntu version to 20.04

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-update-gce-default-image into main

What critical bug this MR is fixing?

Ubuntu 16.04 is no longer supported by Docker. When Docker Machine attempts to install Docker on a newly-provisioned VM, the script fails because the apt install no longer has a package to install.

How does this change help reduce cost of usage? What scale of cost reduction is it?

GCE doesn't work with the default image.

In what scenarios is this change usable with GitLab Runner's docker+machine executor?
