Use latest builder images for check-packages pipeline

Balasankar 'Balu' C requested to merge 8645-check-packages-latest-image into master

What does this MR do?

Use latest builder images for check-packages pipeline. It prevents issues like upstream repos changing their cryptographic signatures which are not present in older images, but are present in the latest ones.

While using a floating tag like latest is generally a bad design decision, here the steps performed are basic (a curl command and an apt/yum/zypper install command) and not depending on any of the runtime versions, it should hopefully fine.
