[linux-snap][PATCH][Bionic][Xenial] Pin any PPAs to the same priority as -updates.

PPAs only have "release" pocket, and do not have -updates, thus at the
moment they get pinned down lower than -updates. Normally, the
snappy-dev/image ppa should be treated on the same priority as
-updates.

 At the moment, I'm trying to build linux-snap with amd64-microcode
 package pulled in from the snappy-dev/image ppa, however, since
 linux-snap is built with proposed=true and ellaborate apt_preferences
 pinning in place, amd64-microcode is pulled in from bionic-updates,
 instead of the PPA. This fixes the issue, by elevating packages from
 the enabled PPAs to at least as high as -updates.
