Doesn't connect interfaces automatically

[kenvandine]

With rev 10 and snapd rev 15447 from edge, it doesn't automatically connect the greedy plugs

Ken mentioned the gtk-theme-yaru-mate and gtk-theme-pocillo snaps as problems. It doesn't look like either of them have a snap declaration to allow auto connect or greedy plugs:

Compare this with gtk-theme-traditionalhumanized:

These other snaps would need to request a similar snap declaration in the store for auto-connection to occur. For reference, here is the request I made for gtk-common-themes and gtk-theme-traditionalhumanized:

Martin has requested the store assertion for the Ubuntu MATE theme snaps here:
