Update CircleCi to next newer machine image ubuntu-2204:2024.01.1

[MikeMcC399]

What would you like?

Update the circle.yml workflow from ubuntu-2204:2023.10.1 to the next higher version ubuntu-2204:2024.01.1.

Updating to ubuntu-2204:2024.01.1 updates the components as follows:

Image tag	Node.js	Docker Engine	buildx	Status
ubuntu-2204:2023.10.1	18.18.0	24.0.6	v0.11.2	current
ubuntu-2204:2024.01.1	20.10.0	24.0.7	v0.12.1	future

This is a major version update from Node.js 18.x to 20.x and a major functional update from Docker Buildx v0.11.x to v0.12.x.

Establish a success baseline by waiting until at least one Cypress Docker image has been published using ubuntu-2204:2023.10.1 before moving on to ubuntu-2204:2024.01.1.

• PR #1154 records using ubuntu-2204:2023.04.2 in its merge log into the master branch.

Why is this needed?

• Issue https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/issues/1095 documents the request to use the latest version of Docker. Updating the Docker version is achieved through updating the version of Circle ubuntu-2204 CI Machine Images selected for the workflow. Based on a previous failed experience of jumping to the latest CircleCI Ubuntu machine image (https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/issues/1093), the suggested update strategy now being followed is to take incremental CircleCI Ubuntu machine image version steps, even if it takes longer to do this.

• By running the machine image ubuntu-2204:2024.01.1 in a test workflow, I found that buildx v0.12.1 is configured in this image, so I updated the original posting accordingly.

machine-agent version 1.0.77411-11b8ede image: "ubuntu-2204:2024.01.2"
Node.js v20.10.0
Docker version 24.0.7, build afdd53b
github.com/docker/buildx v0.12.1 30feaa1

• I also submitted https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/pull/1159, since the CircleCI documentation does not state which version of Buildx has been installed. Starting with Docker Engine 23.0 Buildx is distributed in a separate package docker-buildx-plugin, so the version of Docker Engine >= 23.0 no longer determines the version of Buildx.
