Bug Description
[Impact]
We want GNOME Software to be able to open snap:// URLs. This allows us to embed links in webpages to snaps (like apt://).
[Test Case]
1. Run gnome-software snap://moon-buggy
Observed result:
Get error about unknown URL.
Expected result:
GNOME Software is opened showing the information for moon-buggy and ability to install.
[Regression Potential]
Backported change from master has potential to break other URL handling. Other URLs tested (apt:// appstream://) to confirm they still work.

IMHO this is really unnecessary, the only thing it adds is a snappy-proprietary URL handler, while Snappy could just as well use the appstream:// handler (it would just need to search for the AppStream-IDs Snappy provides then, and could have a fallback to names)
