  Have ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

Bug description:
  I propose having ubuntu-desktop-minimal depend on
  xdg-desktop-portal-gnome | xdg-desktop-portal-backend

  Currently, there is only a Recommends on xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.

  If a system doesn't have that dependency installed, then desktop snaps
  including our critical Firefox and Chromium snaps have severe missing
  functionality.

  Original Bug Report
  -------------------
  With ubuntu 22.04 firefox comes as snap package by default.

  it is not possible to open any file dialog. save graphics as, save
  html page, import certificate never opens a file dialog.

  firefox is completly useless without that file dialog.

  (the root case is ubuntu uses snap)

  further: in snap store firefox has no icon and it's called firefox not
  "Firefox".
