Install the image's Ubuntu packages from the normal mirrors (closes #190)
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.

# What the image holds
The contents of the `smallwebwaf` image, and how each part is pinned. The image
runs `rproxy` by default, or `servewaf` with `SMALLWEBWAF_COMMAND=servewaf`.
"Deployment" in [`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md) says why each part is there and why it
is pinned that way.
## Contents
- Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, pinned by digest.
- `ca-certificates`, `nix-bin` and `runit` from Ubuntu's normal mirrors, the
live archive, not a dated snapshot.
- Nix, with nixpkgs `nixos-26.05.11045.774debe7a0d1` set up for root as
`nixpkgs`. No Nix daemon; `build-users-group =` in `/etc/nix/nix.conf`. Root's
Nix profile, `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin`, last on the `PATH`.
Unpacked, nixpkgs takes about 500 MiB.
- `runsvinit` as the entrypoint, built from `github.com/peterbourgon/runsvinit`
at a fixed commit hash.
- The `smallwebwaf` binary, and the user `smallwebwaf` (uid and gid 65532).
- The service directory `/etc/service/smallwebwaf`, with the `run` script
`share/smallwebwaf.run`.
- `/var/lib/smallwebwaf` for `servewaf`'s state files, and
`/etc/smallwebwaf/rules.d` with the default rule file
`share/rules.d/00-default.rules`.
- `EXPOSE 8080`, and the `HEALTHCHECK` that runs `smallwebwaf healthcheck`.
## Pins
- Ubuntu's packages are not pinned: they come from the live archive, whose
packages change with every update.
- nixpkgs: the release file `nixexprs.tar.xz` of
`nixos-26.05.11045.774debe7a0d1` on `releases.nixos.org`, named with its
SHA-256 hash.
- `runsvinit`: the archived repository, unchanged since 2015, at its last commit
(`b4b2c78`, eight commits after `v2.0.0`), by commit hash, with a `go.mod` the
build writes.
- The Go image that builds `smallwebwaf`: by digest.
