Bug Description

Based on the discussion in the MVP merge proposal[1] for the KVM pod deployment UI and follow-on UX discussion[2], we need to change the UI interaction to make it clear to the user that deploying a KVM pod is currently only recommended/supported on ubuntu/bionic.

The current behavior is that if the checkbox to install a KVM pod is ticked, the OS selection will be ignored and forced to 'bionic'.

It might be nice if releases other than bionic could be used based on user override (this is what we're planning for the API). We should make it difficult to deploy on anything other than bionic, since bionic is the only tested and known-working release.
