Issue body
We have discussed with Sergio/Colin on the sprint about the need of API packages.
The conclusion was that since we do not want -dev snaps in the store we must provide an alternative way to publish API packages.
The story is that an upstream content interface plug developer (for example Qt or Gtk) produces boththe runtime interface and the development interfaces. The runtime interfaces go with the snap package. This PR contains the simple implementation of a snapcraft plugin (development) what creates a tar.gz of the stage space. This tar.gz can be published as the development interfac counterpart of the runtime interfaces.
