[Bug 1640514] Re: /snap/bin is not added to the PATH when using zsh

[Maciej Borzecki]

The systemd way of inject environment does not fully address the
problem. Simple `su -l <user> <command>` where the <user>'s shell is zsh
is enough to demonstrate this. AFAICT this is also a problem with some
desktop environments (non GNOME, or KDE), where the DE environment isn't
updated for some reason.

>From what I can tell, Fedora imports respective files from
/etc/profile.d using ksh emulation. Arch imports the whole /etc/profile
using sh emulation. Perhaps it's worth reconsidering.

Bug description:
  --- Environment ---
  Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 (dev)
  zsh
  snapd 2.16

  --- Description ---
  zsh does not seem to load the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=88457 ).
  As a consequence, /snap/bin is not added to PATH, and running snaps from terminal (without snap run) does not work

  --- How to reproduce ---
  1) Install zsh
  2) try running apps provided by snaps from the shell, without using snap run
