Snaps to invoke external processes

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

The problem is that snapd works in environments where the dependencies to
make the browser-launcher work aren't available.

The right fix is probably to make it a dependency of one of the debs that
are always installed on a normal desktop system, whether snapd is there or
not. It's a very minimal piece of software.
