Moves all Ubuntu distros to the tar-based format (#14463)
* Move all supported Ubuntu images to the new format We backported the build pipeline so all current LTSes come out in the new tar-based format * Remove the appx based distros All WSL users can run tar-based distros by now, right? There is no benefit in maintaining both formats.
