[Bug 1646881] Re: Enable pre-caching of snaps in a classic chroot

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

14:38:41	<Chipaca>	xnox: so, the cache will remove any snaps from the cache if there are more than 5 files in the cache that are not used elsewhere
14:38:56	<Chipaca>	it determines the 'used elsewhere' thing by looking at the hard link count
14:39:17	<xnox>	Chipaca:  we could hard link them into seed directory, without mentioning them in the seed.yaml

Title:
  Enable pre-caching of snaps in a classic chroot

Bug description:
  We have been asked to pre-cache certain snaps in to images that we
  publish to Certified Public Cloud partners, to (potentially) reduce
  the amount of download required to get started using snaps.

  We build the images using an un-booted chroot, so we would need to be
  able to do this without a running systemd/snapd.
