Generate OS-specific subpages for apps #241

Something kind of ~devious~ brilliant that snap does to get higher in search engine rankings is generate a specific sub-page for each app for each OS they support. For example, they have a “Install Spotify on elementary OS” page, even if elementary OS doesn't recommend using Snap and would typically direct people to Flathub.

These pages act as a one-stop place that include the OS-specific instructions for installing/enabling Snap itself, and then installing the app.

Doing the same with Flathub could help SEO ranking for Flathub, directing more folks to use Flatpak instead of random blog posts that might recommend adding PPAs or compiling from tarballs.
