Bug description:
[Impact]
There is no registered MIME types for sqhuashfs/snap files. Thus nothing
knows how to open them. You cannot browse the contents in file-roller.
[Test Case]
1. Download/make a .snap
2. Run 'gnome-open NAME.snap' or click on it in Nautilus
Expected result:
The snap is opened in an appropriate program (file-roller and/or GNOME
Software).
Observed result:
The file cannot be opened.
[Regression Potential]
Low. This change registers two new MIME types and adds new functionality to
file-roller. Existing behaviours should be unchanged.
