Title:
  [SRU] Cannot open a browser link from a snap that provides a link

Status in snapd:
  Triaged
Status in snapd-xdg-open package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in snapd-xdg-open source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Links in snaps cannot be opened on the host.

  [Test Case]

  Steps to reproduce:

  - Run `sudo snap install telegram-sergiusens`
  - Launch telegram-sergiusens.sergiusens (or from the dash)
  - Receive a link
  - Try an open the link.

  The reason for it not working is that there is no browser in ubuntu-
  core and there is no handler that knows how to redirect this to the
  classic Ubuntu instance.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix is a new package to be pulled in by snapd, so there is
  little risk of regression

  [Other Info]

   * snapd-xdg-open is just one piece of two that are needed to fix this
  bug. The other piece is a fake xdg-open script that is available in
  the OS snap, which simply makes a D-Bus method invocation to the
  service in snapd-xdg-open
