Fixed broken libheif build that was introduced by Newlywords#38
- Fixed by https://github.com/brandoncc/heroku-buildpack-vips/commit/fc62dfeaaa6abf9c4a8e4a09470e50834ba60271
Build files for heroku-20 and heroku-22 are now separated, because heroku-22 has more dependencies baked-in than heroku-20. We don't have to build those dependencies from source. Eventually, hopefully we don't need to build anything from source.
