Bug Description
[Justification]
The dmsetup package includes udev rules that are essential for any system using device mapper, which includes any system using crypsetup; and we want to support full-disk encryption in Ubuntu Core.
[Test case]
Do a livefs build test with PROJECT=ubuntu-core SUBPROJECT=
[Regression potential]
This adds a further package into the core and core16 snaps, which will increase the size. The size increase is only marginal (~230KiB uncompressed), but may still adversely impact some installs by pushing the snap size over some limit.
This also changes the boot-time behavior of udev by introducing new udev rules. These rules are well-tested and should only have effect on a system which is configured to create device-mapper devices, which is not going to be the case for a stock Ubuntu Core system; however, some risk of regression exists.

marking 'invalid' for trunk because core snaps later than core16 don't use livecd-rootfs for their build.
