Issue body
There now exist more than one project that would like to add parts for Plainbox Providers to their snaps. For example:
https://launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-snappy
https://launchpad.net/checkbox-dragonboard
To reduce proliferation of identical custom provider plugins it would be useful to have an upstream plugin.
