Add snap packaging

I'm maintaining this package in the snap store and would like to merge the packaging upstream.  We'd like to get automated builds of the snap for testing/release in the snap store.  I'm happy to maintain the packaging going forward as well.

I am fine with having this upstream.

Can we put it in data/ alongside the flatpak dir?

The snapcraft tool looks for snapcraft.yaml either in the current dir or in snap/  

If you are ok with it, I can commit this to master.

Ok.

For what is worth I really dislike a design decision that forces us to clutter the toplevel dir. If you have any influence over snap please relay this.

Thanks, I've pushed this.  I'll talk to the snapcraft developers about adding support to find the packaging in some other more friendly locations.  I think it's reasonable to look in data/snap to keep it inline with others.
