Preload scripts

[Michael Terry]

This now works well enough that you can do the following:

./make-snap -d 14.10 -p mir-graphics-drivers-desktop -n renderdemo -v 0
--aa-profile
/usr/share/apparmor/easyprof/templates/ubuntu-snappy/1.3/unconfined
mir_demo_standalone_render_surfaces

And get a snap that runs a mir demo for you (most of the time -- sometimes
it crashes?)
