With npm 11, some dependencies related to the AWS driver and Kerberos are not loaded properly. It also complains about issues with prettier (where we use 2.x and 3.x). While at some point we will need to update all these dependencies, we will do it with the whole bump to Node.js 24, which requires other work before that.

Pull request overview
This PR downgrades the Node.js version from 24.x to 20.x specifically for the cron-tasks workflow to work around npm 11 compatibility issues with AWS driver and Kerberos dependencies. Node.js 24.x comes with npm 11 by default, which has known issues loading certain native dependencies. The change is targeted to only affect the automated file generation tasks that run on a schedule or on main branch pushes.
- Downgrades Node.js from 24.x to 20.x in the cron-tasks GitHub Actions workflow
- Addresses npm 11 compatibility issues with AWS driver and Kerberos native dependencies
- Maintains compatibility with project's minimum Node.js requirement (>= 20.19.3)

With npm 11, some dependencies related to the AWS driver and Kerberos are not loaded properly. It also complains about issues with prettier (where we use 2.x and 3.x), react and other transitive dependencies. The behaviour looks pretty similar to this one mentioned here: npm/cli#8470.
Using Node.js 24 and npm@10 works too, but to avoid temporary setups this PR just downgrades this specific set of tasks that seem to be affected by the upgrade to npm@11.
