Bug Description

If `lxd-installer` cannot figure which LXD snap channel to use, it currently defaults to pulling from `latest/stable`. `latest/stable` is a moving target as new LXD versions are pushed to it on a monthly basis. `lxd-installer`'s target audience are those casually running `lxc` command without first evaluating which snap channel is better for them based on the upstream doc: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/installing/#choose-your-release

Since LXD doesn't allow downgrading, it is best to default to an LTS version. That is why LXD upstream recently changed the default channel to be the one pulling LXD 5.21 LTS.
