Bug Description

[Impact]
Customized images built for 16.04

[Test case]
1) Install livecd-rootfs
2) Take a copy of the code tree for livecd-rootfs.
3) Prepare a project/subproject tree for hooks:
$ mkdir -p live-build/xyz/hooks/
$ echo <<EOF > live-build/xyz/hooks/000-snap-preseed.binary
#!/bin/sh

. config/functions

snap_preseed telegram
EOF

3) Build the image using livecd-rootfs:
$ PROJECT=xyz SUBPROJECT=snapped lb config
$ PROJECT=xyz SUBPROJECT=snapped lb build

4) Validate that the image contains the preseeded snap as intended.

[Regression potential]
Make sure any unexpected build behavior for images is investigated as a potential regression: the addition of config/functions (live-build/functions) in the build may lead to image builds failing, or could otherwise break the behavior of a part of the image build such that components of build images are missing. All images regularly built from livecd-rootfs should be tested to ensure they are equivalent to those previously built.

---

18.04 builds can included preseeded snaps; but 16.04 can't.

Please backport the relevant functions of livecd-rootfs, so while (ubuntu seed)-based preseeding of snaps can't be done yet (changing seeds might otherwise change image contents), customized images can include their own snaps as necessary by calling the right functions in hook scripts.

This already works in 18.04 (SRU is backport of that code).

Verification-done with livecd-rootfs 2.408.31 on xenial:

Verified that a project can call on snap_preseed to add a snap to the build, by providing both the "mountpoint" for the tree in use and the snap name to add.
