[🚀 Feature]: Update ubuntu:focal-20230301 to the latest version to resolve security vunerabilities

[imtheish97]

Feature and motivation

“ubuntu:focal-20230301” is nearly 7 months old (1st March) there is a more recent replacement “focal-20230801” (from 1st Aug). There have also been a number of images released since focal-20230301, prior to focal-20230801:
• focal-20230308 (6 months old)
• focal-20230412 (5 months old)
• focal-20230605 (3 months old)
• focal-20230624 (3 months old)

Usage example

Selenium’s base Dockerfile should be updated to use the newer ubuntu “focal” releases, or even moving to a newer version of Ubuntu (Focal = 20.04, Jammy = 22.04, Lunar = 23.04).
Moving to focal-20230801 (1st Aug) will resolve:
• ncurses-bin (high)
• libncursed6 (high)
• libncursesw6 (high)
• libtinfo6 (high)
• ncurses-base (high)

There is a PR to move to Jammy but it is blocked because Firefox is a snap package in Jammy. You are welcome to help us.

For the focal bump, could you please send a PR?
