[Merge] lp:~brendan-donegan/ubuntu/trusty/checkbox/ffe_ui_custom_transport_ubuntu into lp:ubuntu/checkbox

[Daniel Manrique]

I can handle merging this into lp:ubuntu/checkbox. Brendan's code looks OK, although some of the changes for bug 1303849 are a bit extensive, they are not out of scope for the feature described in the bug, and it's arguably riskier to completely refactor that already-tested code into something new.

The packages build and install fine and the client even runs without problems, the only issue I saw was that a "launchpad transport" isn't available, as Brendan mentioned this depends on some plainbox and checkbox-ng packages that need to be synced from debian.

Once those packages are synced and (more importantly) the freeze exceptions are reviewed and hopefully accepted, I'm ready to merge and upload this into lp:ubuntu/checkbox.
