The Ubuntu docker image kubechecks uses is slated for EOL this year

[ahinh43]

From ubuntu's release-cycle docs we use the Ubuntu 20.04 image for Kubechecks and Ubuntu 20.04 is slated for standard EOL around late April-May of 2025.

We should update the image as it's a few major versions behind anyway. I plan to tackle this when I have a few free cycles.

What do you think of running smaller image like distroless/alpine instead of running ubuntu22, 24?
Bit of work as we may have to remove all binaries like helm, git, kustomize and use API instead.

as the latest change walk kustomize by API, I dont think we're using the kustomize binary, not sure about helm.

This is definitely worth doing. distroless might be possible, I think the only thing we're using outside of the binary is git and maybe aws-cli? if not, at the least we should upgrade to a later version of the ubuntu image.
