Force older x86 platforms to recompile native gems

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-glibc-fix-rake into master

What does this MR do?

As described in https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler-dock/issues/122, x86 precompiled native gems for a long time have used an image based on CentOS 7, which uses glibc 2.17.

With https://github.com/rake-compiler/rake-compiler-dock/pull/126, the image has been updated to Ubuntu 20.04, which uses glibc 2.29.

In OhaiHelper#ruby_native_gems_unsupported?, we previously forced a number of older aarch64 platforms to recompile the native gems because aarch64 has used Ubuntu 20.04 and hence glibc 2.29 for a while.

With gems that use rake-compiler-dock v1.6.0 or higher (e.g. nokogiri, prometheus-client-mmap, etc.), glibc 2.29 is now required even for x86.

In preparation for these gem updates, ensure that all native Ruby gems are recompiled to avoid quiet failures.
