Issue body
Snapcraft remote-build is running in launchpad behind a proxy and probably with other specificities.
Some behaviour might be specific to remote-build.
When fixing a bug in snapcraft that only happens in remote-build, it cannot be tested since remote-build is going to use its own version of snapcraft.
snapcraft remote-build should have a way to transfer/use a local/custom version of snapcraft.
This would allow:
- Debug remote-build specific behaviour
- Add remote-build integration tests in the CI of snapcraft
