When running `snap info $SNAP`, a summary of output is presented to the user, including the `Contact:` field. Historically, there used to be less fields and `Contact:` was used from everything to personal email addresses to bug trackers.

Snapd now supports additional fields, such as `issues`, `source code`, etc, which are promimently displayed on snapcraft.io/$SNAP - but not shown by default in the CLI without running `snap info --verbose`.

Is this behaviour intentional? In my opinion, these links are promiment in the Web UI for a reason and should be similarly promiment on the CLI.

I'd believe the change would be removing the verbosity check here:

https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/fe6e39a2bc9d5107a329eb967caf4a2d9c843ccf/cmd/snap/cmd_info.go#L389

And updating any failing tests to compensate for the new behaviour.

Would the snap gang be happy with me proposing a PR to remove the need for `--verbose` for these fields :)?
