Snapping Qt 5.7 APPs

[David Chen]

Hi,

I met some problems when trying to create snap for Qt5.7 apps.  After some digging and discussing with people, finally I have a temporary solution which I thought might be worth sharing.  Please see the example below that I put together, hopefully people will find it useful and solve some of their problems as well.

Detail listed in README.md.

Notes:

1. The example uses a custom plugin [1], which is modified from old qml plugin [2].
2. If you are running Nvidia graphic, you might meet this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1588192

3. Without LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=$SNAP/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri, you will hit this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1584178
