snappy-go is now the default on devel-proposed

[Theo Julienne]

We just noticed this morning that the introduction of the Go version
breaks ubuntu-device-flash and the "--install" option for armhf targets,
since there seems to be a long-lasting incompatibility[1] between Go and
qemu-arm-static (which is presumably used to run snappy install in the
chroot). This isn't so much a bug in the Go version itself, just a general
incompatibility, but it has broken all our builds.

I haven't actually delved into the internals of ubuntu-device-flash, but I
noticed this error in our own qemu arm chroots so imagine it is caused by
the same (above) issue.
