Upgrade from `heroku/buildpacks:20` to `heroku/builder:20`

Timo Furrer requested to merge upgrade-to-heroku-builder into master

There is a detailed description of the current situation with the heroku/builderpacks and heroku:builder images at #73 (comment 1793611360)

tl;dr: in a couple weeks time (unknown exact date) the deprecation of the heroku/buildpacks:20 images will raise an error instead of just a warning.

This may actually be a breaking change for some user - arguably though the better outcome as broken pipelines for all users because of the raised error of heroku/buildpacks:20.

To quote Ed Morely, Heroku Team Member (from the aforementioned issue):

There would be some small differences in buildpack behaviour, since the next-gen buildpacks have intentionally dropped support for some lesser used legacy features - however, for many languages/apps it would be mostly a drop-in replacement.

Both images have the same base image (Ubuntu 20.04) which also minimizes the impact.

Refs Use recommended `heroku/builder:22` (#73 - closed)
