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?

Research direction
Start by locating how Cog selects its Ubuntu or container base image and how cog init creates project configuration. Compare the related issues #570 and #535 before deciding whether both existing projects and newly initialized projects are in scope. Done means a project can pin a chosen Ubuntu version reproducibly, with the behavior covered by the relevant tests.
