Current evaluation

Enhancement to let LXD select Ubuntu buildd daily or release images, including through app configuration, remains open; the current remote is hard-coded per Ubuntu alias.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The maintainer-authored request is labeled as an enhancement and current code defines both remotes but selects one per Ubuntu alias, with no provider_remote-style override. Although the cited 2024 testing deadline has passed, pre-publication testing remains a valid use case and the requested general capability is not implemented.

Issue body

### What needs to get done Add a way to configure if buildd images are pulled in from `https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/buildd/daily/` or `https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/buildd/releases/`. This should be done in such a way that it can be set by apps with something like `snap set testcraft.provider_remote=daily`. ### Why it needs to get done To enable testing of daily images prior to publishing. To test 20.04 and 22.04 daily images before the CPC team publishes them in 2024 pulse 23.

    This change hard-coded the devel image to the daily remote, illustrating the per-alias selection that still lacks a configurable override.
