Public bug reported:
The chromium-browser deb package has a patch that allows the browser to
look for the content decryption module in /opt/google/chrome/ and use it
if present (assumes google-chrome is also installed).
This won't work with the snap, because the snap's runtime environment
won't use /opt from the host.
What could work is to patch chromium to look for libwidevinecdm.so
somewhere within the snap's area ($SNAP_USER_COMMON or $SNAP_USER_DATA),
and have instructions for the user to copy the file to this area.
