Giving the snapcraft.yaml a base property helps tremendously with the
efficiency of the build process, and I believe that it puts us in a
better position to reliably support non Ubuntu distros going forward.
This also bases us on long supported bionic libraries, and gives us a
nice place to work from as we add Python 3 and Stein support, as well
as general polish and fixes.
