Bug Description

We have a use case where we generate environment variables and provide users to export in their environment. For snaps we will be providing them a way to export those variables by suggesting to run

$ snap set foo CLOUD_ENDPOINT=ws://x.x.x.x/ws

However it seems snapd does not allow underscore in keys. This makes it difficult to provide "consistent" instructions to our developers. Please support underscores in snap set command's keys

keys are intentionally limited to lower case and -. The main reason is that usually if both - and _ are allowed people will sometime wonder which one is to be used for a given option. I don't see us reverting on this decision and line of thought.
