Bug Description
I was testing the unity8-session in a Core 16 VM, and I noticed that indicator-power wasn't showing an icon in the top panel.
When I opened the indicator menu, indicator-power seemed to be filling out its menu correctly, so it is running. It just didn't give an icon that u8 knew about (or we aren't bundling the right icons into the snap?). But I bet that the indicator is giving back an absolute path that points outside the snap.

I think we need to do a bit more here to really make this right. The reason the indicator isn't showing in the top panel normally in this case, is because your VM doesn't have a battery. So not showing a battery icon on a system without a battery, is totally expected.
However, it is still being run, and due to the indicators drop-down panel design of Unity 8, normally accessible, despite it not being particularly useful for certain systems.
Even more fun is that the "Battery" panel in System Settings is already being hidden, but clicking on "Battery settings..." in the indicator will open it anyway.
We need some way to hide certain indicators from the drop-down as well as from the panel.
