According to the spec, we already have a 'target' key for snapcraft.yaml.

target: ubuntu-core devel

We may want to revise this, including the proposed 'grade' keyword and the
release, does this work?

target: ubuntu-core 16.04
grade: devel

I was thinking of maybe going in a different direction and using lxc/lxd
internally in snapcraft to drive builds. This thread forces my hand to
bring this up sooner than I wanted.

But 'target' would determine where to bring 'stage-packages' from,
'build-packages' would be installed on the container only. This should work
transparently work for when Ubuntu Personal starts ramping up too.

And of course provide an option to not use lxc/lxd to build locally.
