Switch the x86_64-gnu-nopt builder to use Ubuntu 20.04.

Ubuntu 20.04 has a more recent gdb version than Ubuntu 16.04 (9.1 vs 7.11.1), which is required for #77117, as 16.04's gdb 7.11.1 crashes in some cases with Split DWARF. x86_64-gnu-nopt is chosen because it runs compare modes, which is how Split DWARF testing is implemented in #77117.

I've not confirmed that the issue is resolved with gdb 9.1 (Feb 2020), but system was using gdb 9.2 (May 2020) and that was fine and it seems more likely to me that the bug was resolved between gdb 7.11.1 (May 2016) and gdb 9.1.

Updating a builder to use 20.04 was suggested by @Mark-Simulacrum in #77117 (comment). I'm not sure if this is the only change that is required - if more are necessary then I'm happy to do that.
