Fix /snap/bin: Fix missing snap application command symbolic links in the /snap/bin directory

Ever accidentally lost files in /snap/bin due to human error(e.g. System migration has the directory excluded)? I designed a script to fix this exact problem:

This script works by reinstalling all snap packages to force snapd to regenerate these files. Hopefully it can be fixed by snapd automatically in the future.

Excellent idea!

However, since this isn’t something that could be isolated to simply “Desktop” I moved it to the Community category.

Furthermore, Snap isn’t really an Ubuntu project, even though it’s a Canonical project. There’s a whole discourse dedicated to it at https://forum.snapcraft.io if you ever want to join into a discussion there.

Otherwise, nice idea!
