This allows us to embed links in webpages to snaps (like apt://). [Test Case] 1. Run gnome-software snap://moon-buggy Observed result: Get error about unknown URL. Expected result: GNOME Software is opened showing the information for moon-buggy and ability to install. [Regression Potential] Backported change from master has potential to break other URL handling. Other URLs tested (apt:// appstream://) to confirm they still work.
