Support squashfs / .snap packages

[Robert Ancell]

[Impact]
There is no registered MIME types for sqhuashfs/snap files. Thus nothing knows how to open them. You cannot browse the contents in file-roller.

[Test Case]
1. Download/make a .snap
2. Run 'gnome-open NAME.snap' or click on it in Nautilus

Expected result:
The snap is opened in an appropriate program (file-roller and/or GNOME Software).

Observed result:
The file cannot be opened.

[Regression Potential]
Low. This change registers two new MIME types and adds new functionality to file-roller. Existing behaviours should be unchanged.
