Not sure if this should get a new ticket, but if `snap debug
connectivity` fails, the whole upgrade mysteriously aborts (user sees
```Reading state information... Done

Restoring original system state

Aborting
``` and `main.log` shows ```2018-12-12 21:24:20,067 DEBUG running 
Quirks.bionicPostInitialUpdate
2018-12-12 21:24:20,367 DEBUG abort called
``` with literally no other output anywhere.

`strace` is what finds the `snap debug connectivity` call, and `service
snapd status` shows `Active: failed (Result: start-limit-hit)` -
`service snapd start` fixes that and `do-release-upgrade` goes through
fine.

(It's not just me, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1078692/cant-upgrade-
ubuntu-16-04-to-18-04-lts/1100514 looks to be the same symptoms, but it
wasn't until I'd figured out that `snap` was involved that I found this
feature-ticket; I don't think it's widely known, I believe most users
don't even know snap is *in* 16.04, and certainly won't notice `snapd`
being broken without other hints...)
