Bump minimum glibc to 2.28 (#6439)

At least, for the standalone and for anyone running on default Node 18.

If support for 2.17 is needed then one would need to build Node 18 with 2.17 and then build code-server with that version (specifically, the native npm modules).

# NOTE@oxy:
# We use Ubuntu 16.04 here, so that our build is more compatible
# with older libc versions. We used to (Q1'20) use CentOS 7 here,
# but it has a full update EOL of Q4'20 and a 'critical security'
# update EOL of 2024. We're dropping full support a few years before
# the final EOL, but I don't believe CentOS 7 has a large arm64 userbase.
# It is not feasible to cross-compile with CentOS.
# Cross-compile notes: To compile native dependencies for arm64,
# we install the aarch64/armv7l cross toolchain and then set it as the default
# compiler/linker/etc. with the AR/CC/CXX/LINK environment variables.
# qemu-user-static on ubuntu-16.04 currently doesn't run Node correctly,
# so we just build with "native"/x86_64 node, then download arm64/armv7l node
# and then put it in our release. We can't smoke test the cross build this way,
# but this means we don't need to maintain a self-hosted runner!
# NOTE@jsjoeio:
# We used to use 18.04 until GitHub browned it out on December 15, 2022
# See here: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/6002
# TODO: We should use the same CentOS image to cross-compile if possible?
