It seems that we have a mechanism to pre-fetch information about the snaps available. My understanding is that it impacts how fast the screen shows the information about a specific snap when the user presses enter on the snap list view.
However, in practice I always get the following debug log, which seems to indicate that we did not pre-fetch any snap info.
2022-09-09 13:09:46,158 DEBUG subiquity.server.controllers.snaplist:70 fetched list of 0 snaps
The code does this:
task = self.tasks[None] = \
SingleInstanceTask(self._load_list, propagate_errors=False)
task.start_sync()
self.pending_snaps = self.model.get_snap_list()
log.debug("fetched list of %s snaps", len(self.pending_snaps))
and it feels like we should wait for the task to complete before calling self.model.get_snap_list().
I think this got broken as part of this patch:

and more specifically:
```
- task = self.tasks[None] = schedule_
- await task
+ task = self.tasks[None] = SingleInstanceT
+ task.start_sync()
```
