With system-image 1.3 there are actually three places that the build number
can come from, in the following order:

* The -b/--build command line switch
* /etc/system-image/channel.ini
* /etc/ubuntu-build

While there is a build_number variable in /etc/system-image/client.ini, it's
ignored there.  That section exists just to make overriding by channel.ini
easier.  Eventually, we'll probably get rid of /etc/ubuntu-build and only use
the channel.ini file.
