feat: add snap package configuration

Simplify keeping the snap package up to date by including the snapcraft.yaml in the repo.

We can then wire up the snapstore to autobuild the package for amd64,i386,arm* etc.

Many thanks to @ElOpio for the work of getting ipfs into the snap store in the first place, and to @bertrandfalguiere and @mkg20001 for pushing it forwards.

See: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-snap for more info.

Fixes #7250
WIP #3595

+  IPFS combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web.
+  It is like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides
+  an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in. You
+  can also mount the world at /ipfs.
