What is the problem you're trying to solve

With CRI API v1, Kubelet expects container runtime to specify if an image is pinned or not. Kubelet will exempt pinned images from garbage collection.

kubernetes/kubernetes#103299
https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-node/2040-kubelet-cri#pinned-images

Describe the solution you'd like

This feature is mostly required to specify the sandbox image as pinned image. So that there would be one source of truth for pause/sandbox image and kubelet would get it from container runtime.
