+ Apport hook needs to detect if a mysql snap is installed and inform user

** Description changed:

  As was seen in LP: #2089288, dmesg will show systemd logging about
  mounting a mysql snap.  (This may be from https://snapcraft.io/mysql-
  workbench-community, which I'm gathering is a snap packaging of the deb
  package that MySQL upstream maintains at
  https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.)
  
  This is an interesting situation because if the upstream deb was
  installed, we'd be able to ensure proper conflicts in the d/control to
  prevent co-installation and allow one to replace the other via pinning
  and so on, but AFAICT no such mechanisms are available to manage
  deb<->snap conflicts.
  
- Instead, I think when the apport hook is run, it will need to
- heuristically scan for the possible presence of a mysql snap (i.e. check
- `snap list` and/or dmesg), and then display a UI dialog to the reporter
- explaining that the bug is not reportable because they have the snap co-
- installed.  (It might be good to include some method to force the apport
- bug report to be filed anyway.)
