Description
Per https://github.com/bitovi/bitops/issues/307 the official BitOps images are now packaging and providing the latest tools by default.
However, user should be able to pin the tool version (ansible==1.2.3, terraform=3.4.5). This might be achievable when building their custom BitOps Docker image https://bitovi.github.io/bitops/plugins/#creating-your-own-bitops-image
The version parameter could be provided via config like:
```yaml
bitops:
plugins:
terraform:
source: https://github.com/bitops-plugins/terraform
version: 1.2.3 # <-- new setting
```
and so `1.2.3` will be passed to the plugin `install.sh` to install the needed tool version:
https://github.com/bitops-plugins/terraform/blob/b189c2dd7cb38e7e883837f0f3204e5b7e8a6e6b/install.sh#L13-L14
Here tool version = plugin version, where version is just a parameter and not a repo git tag.
That would fit customized use cases and environments which is the main purpose of building the custom bitops image with the chosen plugins.
Started with the #307, it's just a matter of time when this will pop-up more.

Research direction
Start with the custom BitOps image instructions at bitovi.github.io/bitops/plugins/#creating-your-own-bitops-image and the plugin configuration under bitops.plugins. Then inspect the referenced terraform plugin install.sh, especially lines 13–14, to trace how a version could be passed through. Done means a configured version reaches install.sh when building a custom image and pins the selected tool version.
