Add blender support to godot4 about godot-ci HOT 7 OPEN

The process is likely similar to the Android setup:

• Download Blender from https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/blender/release/Blender3.5/blender-3.5.1-linux-x64.tar.xz and extract it within the container.
• Edit editor_settings-4.tres to specify the Blender path: filesystem/import/blender/blender3_path = "/path/to/blender/folder".

Is there a specific reason for using focal?

I think it's mostly for legacy reasons, as we don't self-compile export templates (so we don't need to be running old Linux to compile binaries that are compatible with old Linux distributions).

That said, we don't recommend using distribution-provided Blender, as it's often outdated and may be modified in undesirable ways. Blender upstream themselves advises downloading Blender from the official source instead.
