Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on Pop!_OS 20.01 with systemd-resolved disabled, using the reported Multipass 1.6.2 installation and checking why multipassd creates no logs or accessible socket. Done means the Multipass service starts without installing snapcraft --classic and `multipass info --all` can connect to the socket.
