Change Packer version back to 1.4.2

Packer 1.4.3 frequently has issues setting metadata after a build
completes.
There is a WIP change[0] to upgrade to 1.4.4, but per notes there,
it will not be available until October. Until then, the version
should be downgraded instead, as all Packer builds with 1.4.3 are
failing.

+    Change Packer version back to 1.4.2. Packer 1.4.3 frequently has issues
+    setting metadata after a build completes. Packer 1.4.4 is not expected
+    until October, so this change is needed now to fix the broken builds.
