Description
We are deprecating the latest tag and subsequently removing it from DockerHub. Please adjust your environment to use the OS specific latest image.
Rationale
We are introducing a second runner image based on 22.04. This creates maintaining a latest tag difficult as it means having to switch over OS versions at essentially a random time potentially breaking users environments. Instead we will maintain a latest image on a per OS basis so end users can switch over to the newer image in their own time in a controlled manner.

Research direction
Start by searching the repository's manifests and documentation for references to the Docker latest tag and identify the runner image entry points affected by the change. Update those references to OS-specific latest images and verify that no generic latest usage remains; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
