[Bug 1453154] [NEW] please support --show-boot option in snappy runner

[Michael Vogt]

Public bug reported:

Sometimes it can be really useful to see the output of the boot in a
snappy test run. Especially for the failover tests etc.

So it would be nice to have  "-serial stdio" instead of "-serial none" in the snappy runnser:
"""
