Is there a good facility for install-time copying of template configs or
other writeable-from-initial-state data into $SNAP_USER_DATA?

The way snaps are invoked do a great job of hijacking the $*PATH
variables used to find executables and shared objects, but often we need
to hack in a lot of shuffling around for /usr/share and /etc and /var/
to aim them at snappy's special directories.
