Public bug reported:
I recently changed from a .deb install of LXD to a snap, and was
surprised that one of my crontab scripts stopped working.
I see that $PATH in a cron script only contains "/usr/bin:/bin", whereas
my default shell also includes "/snap/bin".
It seems to me that for the best user experience with snaps, "/snap/bin"
should be part of the default $PATH in cron.
