Bug Description

Currently snap install handles --channel=<name> which is appropriate and should be retained for the future (when we will have custom channel names). But the common case is for standard channel names and these should be handled directly, with --beta, --candidate and --edge options.

The command should require only one of those (and reject an additional --channel= if one of these was already specified).

  $ snap install foo --beta --channel=stable
  Please specify a single channel to install
