Issue body
### What needs to get done
This adds control logic to determine whether to execute the new or legacy remote-build code.
There are four possibilities with `SNAPCRAFT_REMOTE_BUILD_STRATEGY`:
- `disable-fallback` - use new remote-build code
- `force-fallback` - use legacy remote-build code
- unset - continue on to next control logic step
- unknown - raise an error
### Why it needs to get done
remote-build needs to be migrated because it does not leverage the new craft libraries, has issues with building core22 snaps, and has issues related to how the local project is bundled.
