[SRU] 2.16

[Michael Vogt]

This is a new version of snapd.

The changelog for 2.16 is available here https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/2.16/debian/changelog, the raw git changelog is available here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commits/2.16 (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 2.16 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 2.16 here)
- travis/spread based integration/system tests: https://travis-ci.org/snapcore/snapd/branches (check for 2.16 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.

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted snapd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/2.16 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
