[Bug 2039584] [NEW] lxd-installer does not output information during bootstrap phase

[John Chittum]

Public bug reported:

As a user running an lxd command for the first time when lxd-installer
is the command, lxd can take an exceptionally long time to launch. This
is because the following may be happening:

1. lxd not installed, so call a `snap install lxd`
2. snapd not installed as a snap, so snapd deb must bootstrap snapd as a snap

This means multiple snap downloads and installs, then the first lxd
command may occur.

lxd-installer should provide some information about what is occurring
during this phase.

** Affects: lxd-installer (Ubuntu)
