[Bug 1749777] Re: Syntax tweaks for snap-friendly output

[Seth Arnold]

I liked that the 'existing' version of command-not-found was explicit
about the action to take:

$ aws
The program 'aws' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install awscli

A triple-click followed by middle-click was sufficient to follow the
instructions, and the surrounding text felt friendly. Perhaps this model
could be kept, and give the version number information after a # so the
shell ignores it with the triple-click middle-click routine?

Thanks

Bug description:
  Would it be possible to change 'found' to 'installed', and show
  potential versions? For example:

  $ aws
  The program 'aws' can be installed as:
   * snap 'aws-cli' (1.14.38) 
   * deb 'awscli' (1.14.36-1)
