Bug Description
The LXD build provider loads Ubuntu Minimal Cloud images. These images are available for x86 platforms only.
Subsequently attempts to run ``snapcraft build --use-lxd`` on a non-x86 platform (arm64, s390x or ppc64el) result in this sequence of error messages:
Launching a container.
An error occurred with the instance when trying to launch with 'LXD': The requested image couldn't be found.
Ensure that 'LXD' is setup correctly and try again.
Changing snapcraft to load full cloud images or just using the standard LXD Ubuntu image server would most likely solve this issue.

We are waiting on the availability of buildd like LXD images to be produced by the cloud/foundations team (proxied through others), once those are available, it should just work. Those buildd images are a very small superset on top of the minimal images, by moving to the full cloud images we will be breaking or adding more cognitive overhead to developers wanting to integrate with build.snpacraft.io (or lanchpad/buildd).
