Snap support

Currently, there's no way to either repackage or directly install software packaged in a snap and flatpak formats. Because apps packaged in this formats can run unmodified on all major Linux distributions, their popularity grows, and we seem to be missing out. Flatpak apps can be installed on Alpine, Arch, Debian, Endless OS, Fedora, Gentoo, Mageia, openSUSE, Solus, and Ubuntu. Snap apps can be installed on Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mint, Manjaro, OpenEmbedded/Yocto, openSUSE, OpenWrt, Solus, and Ubuntu. Ideally, I'd wish we can do something like this ``` buildFlatpakPackage { src = fetchUrl { url = "https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-apps-nightly/plain/gnome-builder.flatpakref?h=stable sha="..." } } ```
