Public bug reported:

[Impact]

net-install-flash.page explains how you can conveniently make Flash work
with conventionally installed web browsers. Nothing is said about
Firefox or Chromium as snap.

Considering the plan to drop the .deb packages for Chromium, and only
make that browser available via a snap, it has become more important
that the docs explain how you make Flash work in that environment. With
this SRU we add such a section to the disco docs, i.e. the latest stable
release.

The new section will be poorly translated to start with, but making the
information available in at least English carries greater weight.

[Test Case]

 * Install ubuntu-docs 19.04.3 from disco-proposed.

 * Open Help and navigate to "Networking, web & email" -> "Web
   browsers" -> "Install the Flash plug-in".

 * Find the section "Web browser provided as a snap package" at the
   bottom of the page.

[Regression Potential]

Negligible.
