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.
