Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Installed snaps show twice in GNOME Software. The solution is to not scan the installed .desktop files - there is sufficient information provided by snapd.

  [Test Case]
  1. Open GNOME Software
  2. Install a snap (e.g. ohmygiraffe)
  3. Switched to "Installed" tab

  Expected result:
  ohmygiraffe is shown once in the installed list.

  Observed result:
  ohmygiraffe is shown twice. One entry has data from the snap metadata, the other from the installed .desktop file.

  [Regression Potential]
  There is some risk of breaking other appstream behaviour. The risk is low because we only filter out the snapd specific directory that contains this data.
