Bug Description

This is a new version of snapd.

The changelog for 2.18 is available here https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/2.18/debian/changelog, the raw git changelog is available here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commits/2.18 (note that the debian changelog is auto-generated from the merges of the git commits so there is usually no need to look at the raw git commits).

The snappy team released a new 2.18 micro release that we want SRU into xenial. The new process described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SnapdUpdates was used and we have done integration-tests on the snappy images, autopkgtests on classic and unit tests.

The following automatic tests are run:
- travis unit tests https://travis-ci.org/snapcore/snapd/branches (check for 2.18 here)
- travis/spread based integration/system tests: https://travis-ci.org/snapcore/snapd/branches (check for 2.18 here under "spread")

The following additional tests were performed:

"""
Almost all of our spread integration tests are now run as part of the autopkgtest run.

After installing the new snapd it was ensured that apt is unaffected by doing:
"""
- sudo apt install -y hello && sudo apt remove -y hello
"""

After installing the new snapd gnome-software was used:
"""
- install "http" (snap) and remove it again
"""
All worked as expected.

  * disable ppc64el autopkgtest for now, it never worked but for

    for correction of the DB was not successful so far
