This adds a warning message at the top of the details list when viewing an snap that is not using strict confinement. If we get the text of this right, then this could be enough. Currently it reads:

    This third party package is not sandboxed. It will have access to your documents.

Thinking about it, this warning is equally valid for strictly confined snaps that connect to the home interface. I don't think there is a way to identify such apps based on the metadata returned by "find" API requests though.
