https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1533899 is similar, but about adding
support for proxies to snapd (rather than have it use the system
environment variables, which is one implementation option but not always
what you want since that affects everything on the system). But that
doesn't help with your read-only filesystem sorry :-(

(Hmm... disgusting hack idea.... since you can't create /etc/systemd/system/
snapd.service.d/ on your read-only filesystem, try mounting that directory
from somewhere. Extra points for using systemd to mount the systemd service
file overrides and setting up dependencies so it does everything in the
right order :-) )
