[SRU] 2.40

[Michael Vogt]

This is a new version of snapd.

The changelog is available here https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/2.40/packaging/ubuntu-16.04/changelog, the raw git changelog is available here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/commits/2.40 (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 travis logs for 2.40 can be found here: https://travis-ci.org/snapcore/snapd/branches

The snappy team released a new 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.
