Migrate build images from dev.gitlab.org to gitlab.com

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-use-gitlab-com-for-build-images into master

We seem to be incurring significant egress bandwidth charges transferring data from dev.gitlab.org, which is in Azure. Our CI runners pull from the container registry on dev.gitlab.org, which then communicates with Amazon S3. We should move our images back to GitLab.com because:

  1. Reliability: GitLab.com has a high-availability setup.
  2. Cost: Network transfers within Google regions should be cheaper than crossing cloud providers.
