Heroku-24: Remove `libgcrypt20-dev` #302

Since:

All of the language bindings I could find for it were unpopular and not actively maintained. For example:
- Ruby: https://github.com/chrisliaw/gcrypt (last commit 3 years ago, 0 stars, not published to rubygems.org)
- Python: https://framagit.org/okhin/pygcrypt/ (last commit 6 years ago, 0 stars, close to zero PyPI downloads excl mirrors syncing)
It's the dev package for the library extracted from GnuPG, and it's much more common to interact with the gpg CLI directly. eg: https://github.com/vsajip/python-gnupg (8 million downloads/month) which uses the CLI instead.
