Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When apport is reporting a crash, it includes the output of the "df" utility, 
to list the free disk space information per mount point.

  That output nowadays will inadvertently include all snaps that the
  user may have installed, including their revision numbers.

  Here is a simple df output:

  You can see I have the core snap at revision 4206, and git-ubuntu at
  revision 402.

  There are already many bug reports in launchpad where one can see this
  information.

  Granted, the user can review it, refuse to send this data, etc. This
  bug is about the unexpectedness of having that information in the disk
  space data.

  If the user sees a prompt like "Would you like to include disk free
  space information in your report?", or "Would you like to include the
  output of the df(1) command in your report?", that doesn't immediately
  translate to "Would you like to include disk free space information
  and a list of all installed snaps and their revision numbers in your
  report?".

  [Test case]
  N/A

  [Regression potential]
  Fix consists of adding -x squashfs to df output, so might hide other non-snap 
squashfs images.
