  Snapcraft doesn't ignore already-built snaps when `source` is the
  folder containing the `snapcraft.yaml`

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Many plugins support sources. When the `source` keyword points to
  the directory containing the `snapcraft.yaml`, Snapcraft creates a
  copy of that entire directory, including any snaps that have already
  been built (which can be very large).

  [Test Case]

   1. Download and run `snapcraft` on http://people.canonical.com/~kyrofa/test-cases/1575628.tar . The result should be a .snap.
   2. Run `snapcraft clean`. This shouldn't remove the .snap.
   3. Run `snapcraft` again.
   4. Notice that the .snap that was already built was copied into `parts/foo/build/`.
   5. Apply the fix for this bug.
   6. Run steps 2 and 3 again.
   7. Notice that the .snap that was already built was NOT copied into `parts/foo/build/`.

  [Regression Potential]

   * When copying the source folder, Snapcraft-specific data is excluded
  (e.g. parts/ stage/ snap/ snapcraft.yaml, etc.). That data may no
  longer be excluded correctly.
