Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In the same way as apturl is set as the default apt: URL handler, we should do the same for GNOME Software with the snap: URL.

  The prime impact for users will be support for snap:// URLs in the
  browser.  This will allow web sites to provide a "click here to
  install this snap...." type links which will take the user directly to
  Ubuntu Software (instead of having to choose a url handler) where the
  snap will be preselected. e.g. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02
  /snap-url-support-coming-ubuntu-software-app-plus-love-news  (link
  towards the bottom as an example of the sorts of things websites will
  be able to do).

  [Test Case]
  Run:
  $ xdg-open snap:moon-buggy

  Expected result:
  GNOME Software opens with information on the moon-buggy snap

  Observed result:
  Get error about "specified location not supported"

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, we set a default where there was previously none.
