Description
In https://github.com/typelevel/sbt-typelevel/pull/762 we changed the default OS to a pinned Ubuntu version. Downstream builds which are using macOS and Windows may want to pin versions for those too for similar reasons. However, it's annoying if every downstream has to remember to bump these OS versions periodically. So maybe we should expose our recommended (and tested) pins versions as constants, than can be used in downstream builds.

Research direction
Start by reading pull request 762 and the existing implementation that changed the default OS to a pinned Ubuntu version. Trace where that default is defined and how downstream sbt builds consume it, then determine how recommended macOS and Windows pins could be exposed as constants. Done means the constants are available for downstream use and their recommended versions are covered by the project's tests.
