Provide a Snap package for Godot 4.

[RokeJulianLockhart]

Currently solely https://snapcraft.io/godot-3-1 exists, which is obviously Godot 3.

To verify,

snap search godot
snap info godot-3-1

outputs

I suggest that the package merely be renamed and updated, but precedent exists for a new package

[Calinou]

As mentioned in #7763, Snap packages are not made by us and we don't intend to create official Snaps. We already have a Flatpak (which is currently considered unofficial), but it's not listed on the website as it has some feature limitations due to sandboxing.

At this point, I would suggest removing the godot-3-1 Snap entirely from Snapcraft.

And do you consider to move from flatpak to snap maybe? (I am asking this because Ubuntu - the most spread Linux distro - uses snap, not flatpak by default, ofc. you can manually install flatpak...)

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@realjjaveweb, the comment that you've responded to already answers your question. To summarise:
