[Bug 1408350] [NEW] 'apt-get update' should be configurable as part of testbed setup

[Richard Huddie]

Public bug reported:

It would be useful to add a flag to automatically allow 'apt-get update'
to be run during testbed setup.

Currently this can be done using --setup-commands option:
'mount -o remount,rw /; apt-get update; mount -o remount,ro /'

But it would be much easier to have a flag to allow this to be
configured as part of the setup procedure.

This step is required to ensure device package lists don't became out of
sync with archive.
