[18-8-stable] Remove release instance deployment trigger from Ubuntu-20.04-staging job
What does this MR do and why?
This MR backports !9126 (merged) to 18-8-stable, which restricts Ubuntu-20.04-staging deployment to RC tags only. This prevents deployment to the deprecated release.gitlab.com for final release tags.
Original MR: !9126 (merged)
