support assumes field in snapcraft.yaml

[Samuele Pedroni]

[Impact]

 * snapd now supports checking for snaps before installing that they don't require features that the current snapd/core doesn't support,

 * snapd compares a feature tag list in snap.yaml under the entry name "assumes" to the its own internal list of supported features,

 * for this to work snapcraft needs to support copying a list of strings entry called "assumes" from snapcraft.yaml to the snap.yaml of the built snap

 * The nodejs plugin is hard-coded to use version 4.2.2. This should be configurable via a `node-engine` config parameter.

[Test Case]

 1. Run `snapcraft` on a snapcraft.yaml with a set of keywords in `assumes`.
 2. Make sure they make it to snap.yaml

[Regression Potential]

 * Very low. This is a new feature.

Thanks Samuele! For completeness, would you mind adding a YAML snippet to the description to serve as an example?

Hello Samuele, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapcraft into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/2.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Tested in an up-to-date xenial system:
- Enabled the proposed archive
- Updated snapcraft to 2.10
- snapcraft init
- added the assumes keyword.
- snapcraft
- The assumes section is copied to snap.yaml

I'm marking the verification as done.

Thanks Chris!
