Backport #38503 to branch/v13

changelog: Removed telnet from legacy Ubuntu OCI due to CVE-2021-40491. Use nc instead.

Ubuntu only fixed CVE-2021-40491 in their paid ESM offering (as `inetutils` is
part of `universe`, not `main`), and it's causing security scanners to complain.

While the recommended option is to move to our distroless OCIs which do
not have this package installed at all (and are updated daily), an easy fix is
just to remove `inetutils-telnet` from the image (as `netcat` is already included).
