Provide an easy way to run the app with tools like gdb, valgrind, strace, etc.

[Alberto Mardegan]

The command

  snap run --shell <snap>

is useful, but running the application under an external program is still cumbersome, given that one should first include these programs in the snap, and then hope that the confinement allows the wrapper program to operate properly.

Ideally, one could wrap the whole "snap run" command, like this:

  strace -f snap run <snap>

but that appears to hang when snap-confine is being called. Anyway, some way to quickly debug the app would be great.
