Apply mitigation #27330 for 2.53.0

[tvalentyn]

I am investigating a process corruption that became very pronounced in streaming pipelines after protobuf 4 upgrade #27330 .
Since:

1. there is still no rootcause for [Bug]: Python SDK sometimes crashes in streaming jobs running on 2.47.0+ SDK #27330;
2. some customers insist that Beam must support protobuf v4;
3. issue seems limited to streaming pipelines;
4. protobuf 4.25 is expected to be forwards-compatible with 3.20.x ,

I propose to install Protobuf 3.20 by default into Beam SDK container until we have a fix for #27330.

The Docker pre-commit is failing with a dependency issue:

89.88 [nltk_data] Downloading package stopwords to /root/nltk_data...
89.94 [nltk_data]   Unzipping corpora/stopwords.zip.
90.14 Traceback (most recent call last):

90.14 Container does not include required Beam dependencies or has conflicting dependencies. If Beam dependencies have changed, you need to regenerate base_image_requirements.txt files. See: https://s.apache.org/beam-python-requirements-generate

Thanks, added e173b4d to fix.

looks like still failing for 3.11, looking further

[tvalentyn]

looks like fast implementation is not available on 3.11 with protobuf 3 :(.
