project: use pebble snap instead of building
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged changes replacing local pebble binary builds with the published pebble snap. The update primes the binary as /usr/bin/pebble, reducing spread test runtime from ~32 to ~26 minutes.

Issue body
Now that pebble has been published as a snap we can use it directly instead of building the binary each time. Prime only the binary and "organize" it as /usr/bin/pebble just like the previous part did.

| #552 fix: change pebble dir in 24.04 from /.rock/bin to /usr/bin | rockcraft | merged | Merged a fix updating the pebble binary path from /.rock/bin to /usr/bin for Ubuntu 24.04+ rocks. Approved by two reviewers, passed CI, and builds on PR #528 to ensure stable runtime paths. | |
| #936 Consider packing `pebble` binary with `upx` | rockcraft | closed | Closed and manually migrated to canonical/pebble. Rockcraft uses pre-compiled Pebble snaps, so compressing the binary upstream better addresses the base image size reduction goal. |
