Update README on installing from source on older distros #677

Closed kyle-rader-msft closed 2 months ago

Address #672

This updates the docs to move forward the "older" version of Ubuntu to 20.04.

Reading the INSTALL file from the git source does cover dependencies in detail but it doesn't call out the actual libs for those on a specific distro.

I've added a shortlist of apt libraries that are likely needed to build Git from source on Ubuntu 20.04, sourced originally from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-git-from-source-on-ubuntu-20-04-quickstart.

It looks like the Macos 13 functional tests are timing out? Is another retry worth doing?

I've requeued, but if it fails again we can merge with admin privileges.

Yes, this is a problem already in git/git. It is timing out a lot, and I do not see anybody working on it... So we just hit the Rerun failed jobs button a lot...
