Bug description:
[Impact]
In the same way as apturl is set as the default apt: URL handler, we should
do the same for GNOME Software with the snap: URL.
The prime impact for users will be support for snap:// URLs in the
browser. This will allow web sites to provide a "click here to
install this snap...." type links which will take the user directly to
Ubuntu Software (instead of having to choose a url handler) where the
snap will be preselected. e.g. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02
/snap-url-support-coming-ubuntu-software-app-plus-love-news (link
towards the bottom as an example of the sorts of things websites will
be able to do).
[Test Case]
Run:
$ xdg-open snap:moon-buggy
Expected result:
GNOME Software opens with information on the moon-buggy snap
Observed result:
Get error about "specified location not supported"
[Regression Potential]
Low, we set a default where there was previously none.
