Official snap button

[Thibaut Rouffineau]

Hi Aaron
Way to go for now! A button would create the impression that some kind of
deeplinking mechanism exists which is not the case yet.

But we'll soon have to think of way to communicate that a piece of software
is available as a snap more "prettily" (to use your terms) .

Cheers
Thibaut
