Install the image's Ubuntu packages from the normal mirrors (closes #190)
check / check (push) Successful in 3m29s

The final image stage now apt-gets ca-certificates, nix-bin and runit
from the archive the image's own sources name, with no snapshot and no
hash check of the package lists. The borrowed CA bundle is dropped: the
archive is reached over plain HTTP, so the install needs none. The Ubuntu
base image stays pinned by digest, and every other pin is kept. SPEC.md
and docs/image.md no longer describe a snapshot.

- The image is Ubuntu's newest long-term support release, pinned by digest, and
moves to the next LTS release when that ships. Its packages come from Ubuntu's
snapshot service, the archive as it was at the moment the Dockerfile names,
rather than the live archive, whose packages change with every update. The
snapshot is never older than the pinned Ubuntu image, since older packages can
need older versions of packages the image holds, and it moves forward with the
image's digest. The Dockerfile names the hash of each of the snapshot's
`InRelease` files, which cover every package list and so every package, and
the build checks them before installing. The live archive's `InRelease` files,
which `apt-get update` also fetches and the install does not use, are left out
of the check. The hashes are the amd64 archive's, so the image is built for
amd64 only.

- The Ubuntu image has no CA certificates. Without them Nix cannot download
packages and `servewaf` cannot reach GeoJS, so `ca-certificates` is installed

the Go image that builds `smallwebwaf`, itself pinned by digest.

- nixpkgs comes from a release file on `releases.nixos.org`, named with its
hash, not from a GitHub archive, whose bytes can change. Root uses Nix
directly; no Nix daemon runs. `nix-bin` creates no build users, so
