[Bug 1774617] [NEW] Filter out snaps from GNOME Software

[Ads20000]

Public bug reported:

An option should be provided in Software & Updates to filter out snaps
from GNOME Software. Perhaps this should also affect the command-line
(just as disabling restricted and multiverse would affect the command-
line). Perhaps a dialogue box should be created when turning off snaps
and the dialogue should ask whether to remove snapd entirely (first
removing the snaps) or to set the refresh timer to monthly ( which is as
close to turning it off as possible, timer CLI is here:
https://snapdocs.labix.org/configuration-options/87 ), or to remove all
snaps, or just to remove them from GNOME Software (for snaps, this could
just hide apps that have their source listed as 'Snap Store').
