Description

It should be possible to pin to a particular Ubuntu version for reproducibility. Handily, if you pick a stable version, this also means that the system packages will effectively be pinned (but with security updates).

Maybe this should also be added to cog init so projects get pinned by default?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how cog currently manages base image and system packages. Look for where the Ubuntu version is hardcoded or derived. Then design a configuration option in the cog.yaml file to pin Ubuntu version, considering backward compatibility and integration with cog init.
