Host base-images/images manifest for easy import (and update)

[berndtj]

Feature Request

Every time I start a deployment, I import the seed.yaml file to populate a core set of base images and images. This should be easy for all installation including those that don't have the source checked out (where the seed.yaml file is located).

Ideally, the seed file (or whatever it's called) is published with each release to ensure compatibility. It's likely the seed file needs to be versioned as well, since it's possible that changes to the seed file (or base images) would effect backwards compatibility.

• [ ] Low - Simple enhancement or bug fix, no architectural changes or refactoring
• [x] Medium - Change requires some thought, but is relatively isolated
• [ ] High - Significant architectural change or large refactor

How about we include an option to install the seed.yaml automatically?

Implemented in #507, however we should probably also include the full seed file in the release (and update the docs)
