What issue does your PR resolve?

N/A

Describe your PR

Adds support for SNAP packaging. While I understand this may be controversial, audacity is available in the snap store and I figure that there are some users that might prefer our version but who might be missed if we don't offer Tenacity in a fashion that is as easy to acquire for beginner Ubuntu users (such as those who might have just recently moved from Windows to Linux and might be restricted to using the snap store for example). Would appreciate any advice on improving the packaging if anyone has more experience with snap than me; this is my first attempt at making a snap package and the help would be welcome.

Add snapcraft configuration files so Tenacity can
be built and distributed as a snap package. The yaml
is targeted at core24 and uses the gnome extension
for GTK/wxWidgets runtime. All optional codec and plugin
support is enabled except for Matroska.
Because PortAudio's ALSA backend inside the snap
sandbox tripped an enumeration assertion when reading
the host's ALSA configuration, ship a minimal
asound.conf that routes everything to PulseAudio.
libasound2-plugins is staged so the pulse ALSA
plugin is available at runtime.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to $SNAP/usr/local/lib/tenacity
in the app environment so the modular lib-*.so files
are resolved. This is a snap-only workaround

Would moving the snap packaging folder from root to the /linux subdir be a good idea? Looking for input on doing that instead of following the convention of putting it in project root.
