Bug Description

In flatpak I can type `flatpak uninstall --unused` and in apt I can type `sudo apt autoremove` to remove unused packages.

There is no similar command in snap, only little scripts people make to do the same job, that break when snap's columns change on program listing.

Please add a native snap command to allow cleaning unused packages.

This feature would be a nice addition. Since some snaps are quite big, in systems with disk space constraints, snap is not really convenient in the long term because of the lack of this feature.
