Add a "--profile" parameter to cleanbuild
Metadata
Current evaluation
PR #1969 was not merged and was abandoned after maintainers shifted from container-based builds to consistent build VMs, making the proposed LXD profile option obsolete.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: Closed unmerged by @sergiusens on 2018-05-11, who explained that Snapcraft was moving away from containers toward consistent build VMs and apologized for the wasted effort. No resolving commit or merged implementation was reported.

Issue body
This allows the user to select another LXD profile when running
cleanbuild, in case some profile-specific options are required. This
allows users not to have to change their default profile.
This partially fixes LP:1686766
The change follows the existing pattern (passing an explicit option instead of an "extra options" free-form parameter), as with the existing "--remote" option.
