snap proxy settings are not updated

[Krassi]

This is a follow-up bug for https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1666353

I am using the newest Juju release (2.2-beta4) and it seems that the proxy settings are still not applied globally. This results in errors when trying to deploy the kubernetes-core bundle, as the snap service cannot reach search.apps.ubuntu.com.

It seems that it was decided against writing the settings to /etc/systemd/{system,user}.conf.d/juju-proxy.conf (although the commit message says otherwise), but even if I follow the instructions and manually create the needed symlinks for each machine (and restart the service) - the snaps still cannot be downloaded.

Looking into the snap.d configuration, it seems that it uses /etc/environment as environment file and as soon as I manually configure the proxy settings there and restart the snappy daemon, then everything works as expected.
