…ls (bugfix) (#1616)

* Fail snap refresh/revert jobs if the snap_update_test.py script fails

Adding `set -eo pipefail` in the snapd refresh/revert jobs that initiate
a reboot ensures that:

- any failure in the `snap_update_test.py` is not masked by the pipe
command (this is achieved by `set -o pipefail`)
- any failure at any step of the `command:` field just fails the whole
job (this is ensured by `set -e`). This is important to avoid the
`reboot` command from being issued if something goes wrong in the
script.

Fix #1615

* Increase default timeout of the `snap_update_test.py` script

Some devices in our test lab are really slow to download and apply snap
updates. Increase timeout from 5 minutes to 10 minutes to hopefully help
with this.

* Revert the use of `set -e`

* Indicate a failed job if an exception is caught when running snapd command

When running a snapd revert or refresh command, a SnapdRequestError
exception might be raised (for example when the refresh command failed
to run within the given time).

If this is the case, the script fails, and if it is executed as part of
a Checkbox run, a `__result` file is generated and stored in the shared
session directory to record the fact that this job failed.

When the session is resumed, Checkbox will automatically resume the
session and mark this test as failed.

* Update unit tests for snap_update_test

* Also fail job in case of an AsynException

This exception can also be raised when calling snap commands using
checkbox_support.snap_utils.snapd.Snapd.

* Update providers/base/bin/snap_update_test.py
