Automated build of Snap package

After some superficial research: Snap seems to support udev rules (https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/wiki/snap-confine-Overview).
AppImage and Flatpak do not (#34, #35)

IMHO, the benefits of having a snap package for this project do not not outweigh the time that is necessary to invest for the implementation. Most major Linux distributions are supported with binary packages by automated ci-builds. Additionally Projecteur was recently picked up by packagers to be included in some Linux repositories itself (e.g. Debian, Gentoo).

Closing this issue, although contributions for a snap package build are still welcome of course.
