[Sergio Schvezov <sergio.schvezov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

none is a base that is essentially empty, agreed to be handled internally by snapd.
To support this at build time, we are introducing the concept of a build-base which is the value of an existing base used to build for (e.g.; core16, core18).

build-base (for now) is only allowed when none is used as a base.

Support in launchpad for build-base is also required
(https://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/launchpad/view/head:/lib/lp/snappy/model/snap.py#L620)
