Update manual instructions for Ubuntu / Debian to be less repo dependent

Grant Young requested to merge gy-update-ubuntu-manual-instuctions-docs into main

What does this Merge Request do and why?

MR updates the Manual installation steps for Ubuntu / Debian to be clearer as well as streamline as follows:

  • Switches instructions to install NodeJS and Yarn via as the one found in OS repos is now too old (12.x)
  • Updates PostgreSQL installs to use official repo to ensure close version is installed.
  • Streamlines Go installation steps to use the download method as the OS repos are very unlikely to have the specific versions required.
  • Streamlines the Ruby installation steps in a similar manner to focus on rbenv as, again, the repo versions are unlikely to have the specific versions required. Also focuses on the version given in .ruby-version as this takes precedence with rbenv.
