[3.9-backport] meta: ensure Snap's `assumes` is initialized as a set
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged backport to 3.9 resolving SNAPCRAFT-16C. Converts the assumes property from a list to a set during config initialization to prevent command-chain exceptions. Includes regression test coverage.

Issue body
When reading the config data dictionary, convert the list to a set.
The `assumes` property is defined as a set in Snap meta, but derives
from a list in the the snap meta. This causes an exception when
using `command-chain`, but `command-chain` is not already in
the `assumes` (due to the use of Snap's usage of `.add()` on the
set, which is not available for lists).
Add a test for coverage/verification.
