Description

In order to prevent a mass outage for magic mode users as seen in #3550, pin the paket version in the lock file on update/lock file create.
Use value from dependencies like any other dependency.

Bootstrapper then use value in lock rather than dependencies file for version to use.

This means an update will give latest paket. But that will be a repeatable build rather than getting latest every time.

Research direction

Start by tracing lock file creation and update handling, then inspect the bootstrapper's version selection and how dependency values are read. Compare the Paket dependency version flow with the requested lock-file value. Done means updates select the latest Paket version while subsequent builds use the pinned lock-file version repeatably.
