Bug Description

[Impact]
Customized images built for 16.04 with preseeded snaps fail.

[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/ubuntu-cpc/hooks/000-snap-preseed.binary
#!/bin/sh

. config/binary
. config/functions.snaps

snap_preseed chroot telegram
EOF

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

4) Validate that the image contains the preseeded snap as intended from stable/ubuntu-16.04 channel.

[Regression potential]

---

Snap preseeding released in 2.408.31 (bug #1771177) is incomplete.

* Preseeding without specifying a channel will result in a build-break as distro-info is not installed in the build environment
* Building with the ubuntu-cpc project overwrites the 'functions' file that added snap functions

We've an undefined $VERSION in config/binary which is resolved by https://code.launchpad.net/~rcj/livecd-rootfs/xenial-proposed/+merge/347703 (which also brings the zero'ing of the UEFI partition from the same release)

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.408.33

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.408.33) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Zero fill space in UEFI partitions, too
  * Set LB_ISO_PREPARER to livecd-rootfs to avoid unbound variable in default string
