Issue body
snapcraft cleanbuild creates a lxd container, but there is no way to set apt-proxy or apt-mirror settings. This makes it very, very slow for people outside the US.
We need options that get passed through when creating the container.
Also see https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/2270 in case upstream lxd can help.
