1417936 - Make sure we're using snapd >= 2.29

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Firefox needs access to /dev/shm, which is blocked by snap < 2.29. It was added in [1]. At the moment snapd 2.29 isn't available in the main repos, yet. We're using [2], which serves the latest release (2.28.5). In theory, there's nothing to do once 2.29 is out. We already pull the latest packages at each run [3]. Nonetheless, let's make sure we don't forget about this requirement.

Snapd is actually used to run snaps, and not craft them. We don't need this to achieve bug 1297514. Closing bug.
