Provide a snap package

With Ubuntu 16.04 LTS a new packaging format, called snap was introduced. They have some additional benefits like sandboxing. Users can install them with a click and developers can provide (delta) updates. Of course one can also install snaps via the command line and, if submitted, from the Ubuntu store.

I have no idea how it works, but there's also https://github.com/mikix/deb2snap

Snap and flatpack are definitely things to look into. However at this time I want to focus the time I have on other things, so it may take a while before I end up working on this. I think it is something that needs to be done well from the start so https://github.com/mikix/deb2snap isn't an option.

(I can't speak for @mank319, of course.)

Pull requests, packaging recipes, etc... are welcome, of course.
