Feature request: easy switching between stable/unstable nixpkgs

This issue has been tracked since 2022-12-26.

This could be implemented e.g. as devbox switch unstable/stable with some mechanism of updating packages to the latest stable/unstable e.g. devbox pull/update.

This should be easier to do now that we have Flakes + a lockfile through flakes, but would require a few changes to the config + CLI. This would probably entail:

A field in the devbox.json that can set which channel the project should use
A lockfile (or a commit hash in the JSON) that pins the channel to a specific commit
A command in the CLI that can update the pinned hash/lockfile, and re-install the packages for that channel
