[bitfolk] Do not try to upgrade a BitFolk VM to Ubuntu 20.04 yet

Hi, Ubuntu 20.04 is scheduled to be released at some point today. As things stand its kernel won't boot at BitFolk. I think it's due to some bugs in Xen's LZ4 decompression. These problems have since been fixed but it would mean a forced reboot to deploy them and I'm not going to do that, for this. I will let you know when there is a host available that will boot these LZ4-compressed kernels, so if you are desperate to upgrade to 20.04 you can be moved there. If you already did try to upgrade to 20.04 and now it doesn't boot, your previous (18.04) kernel will boot, which clearly isn't ideal but does at least regain access. Possibly you could build a custom kernel that doesn't use LZ4 or find a way to unpack (and optionally repack) the existing vmlinuz. I'll follow up with more info as I experiment with that.
