Description
As a bakery user, I would like to be able to update (re-render) a specific subset of the templates.
Use cases:
- Update the goss tests without updating any other templates
- Do not render templates that have diverged from the version that was used in the original image creation
- This may require some sort of internal tracking of the template checksums

Research direction
Start by locating the bakery flow that re-renders templates for existing image versions and how the original templates are identified. Determine how a requested subset can be selected and how divergence from the original version is detected. Done means selected templates, such as goss tests, can be updated without rendering unchanged or diverged templates.
