Add support for snap create-user on Ubuntu Core images.
Ubuntu Core images use the `snap create-user` to add users to an Ubuntu Core system. Add support for creating snap users by adding a key to the users dictionary. users: - name: bob snapuser: bob@bobcom.io Or via the 'snappy' dictionary: snappy: email: bob@bobcom.io Users may also create a snap user without contacting the SSO by providing a 'system-user' assertion by importing them into snapd. Additionally, Ubuntu Core systems have a read-only /etc/passwd such that the normal useradd/groupadd commands do not function without an additional flag, '--extrausers', which redirects the pwd to /var/lib/extrausers. Move the system_is_snappy() check from cc_snappy module to util for re-use and then update the Distro class to append '--extrausers' if the system is Ubuntu Core.
