[Bug 2083522] [NEW] The 'snap revert' hint displayed on upgrade is misleading

Public bug reported:

During a dist-upgrade we get those messages displayed when refreshing a
snap to another channel

```
snap-store is now tracking 2/stable/ubuntu-24.04

If needed, you can revert to your previous revision with:

$ snap revert snap-store
```

The revert command suggested will restore the revision which was in use
before but not change back the channel, which means the snap will be
autorefreshed again to a revision of the new channel the next time a
build is published there. That's a confusing user experience.

** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided

** Summary changed:
