Title:
  bad test for snappy systems

Status in cloud-init:
  Confirmed
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Reviewing the latest SRU for cloud-init, I noticed the following:

  def system_is_snappy():
      # channel.ini is configparser loadable.
      # snappy will move to using /etc/system-image/config.d/*.ini
      # this is certainly not a perfect test, but good enough for now.
      content = load_file("/etc/system-image/channel.ini", quiet=True)
      if 'ubuntu-core' in content.lower():
          return True
      if os.path.isdir("/etc/system-image/config.d/"):
          return True
      return False

  This isn't a good test for whether a system is an ubuntu-core system.
  'system-image' is historical baggage, and not likely to be present at
  all in future versions.

  I'm afraid I don't know a good alternative test offhand, but wanted to
  log the bug so someone could look into it rather than being caught by
  surprise when ubuntu-core image contents later change.
