Improve Ubuntu version detection (and prepare for imminent switch to 20.04 by default)
This PR makes the getRunner()
function check /etc/os-release
to determine the Ubuntu version, rather than hardcoding a kernel version check.
This is also important because the current implementation only checks for Ubuntu 16.04/18.04. Ubuntu 20.04 has been available for use in GitHub Actions for some time, and ubuntu-latest
will soon default to ubuntu-20.04
(see actions/virtual-environments#1816).
(Edit: I don't write much Node, and I've never written TypeScript, so I'm happy to make changes to this.)
