Given the nature of sandboxing during the development process ("zomg the
glass walls!") I think we should have a first-class command that spawns
a $SHELL (not the shell of the snap but your preferred shell) inside the
sandbox.

It might be reasonable to have a snap.yaml flag to turn that ability OFF
for some snaps, but it seems silly to have boilerplate for debugging
purposes.

For example, how about adding a 'enter-sandbox' command to snap, so:

  $ snap enter-sandbox app.command
  Now running inside the sandbox for app.command
  $

And in snap.yaml:

 
  debugging: [ allow-sandbox ]
