[Bug 1407587] [NEW] Provide testing in Ubuntu Snappy images

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

autopkgtest should grow a ssh setup script for running tests on Ubuntu
Snappy. It should run

  sudo ubuntu-device-flash core --output=/tmp/snappy.img --developer-
mode

(which is fast as images get cached in ~/.cache/ubuntuimages), or take
an already existing snappy image as an option.

For now this will only support deb Depends: in unpack mode as the image
is readonly.

Note that in the future autopkgtest should also grow support for snap
packages, but they are still being defined, so that's for a later time.

** Affects: autopkgtest (Ubuntu)
