The snap store review team has approved auto-connecting the plugs
for OpenRocket to allow the application to access the .openrocket
and .java/.userPrefs directories on Linux without needing user
interaction.
This patch adjusts the snapcraft.yaml definition per the feedback at
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/request-for-personal-files-for-openrocket/20579/5
This patch will also migrate the java preferences from the user's
home directory to the $SNAP_COMMON directory since write access will
not be allowed to the default preferences api.

Initial feedback from the Snapcraft store suggests to further refine
the dot-java-user-prefs interface name to include OpenRocket so its
clear to a user which files are being accessed. This changes the
interface name to accomodate that feedback.

Drop gcc as a build-dependency as LP#1883392 was fixed and delivered.
Additionally, change personal-files interfaces to be more explicit which
should allow for the snap store assertions which will possibly allow the
auto-connecting of the interfaces upon install for the OpenRocket app.

Add plugs which use the personal-files interface for snaps to allow
the users to enable OpenRocket to access the ~/.java and ~/.openrocket
directories. Currently, these must be manually connected by the user,
so the launcher is updated to ensure the user experience degrades
appropriately when they are not connected.
This method allows for new installations to OpenRocket without any
changes and for users migrating to the snap from the jar to be able
to connect their existing preferences and databases.

Fix the user preferences location for snaps to go to the user's snap
directory $SNAP_USER_COMMON, which stores data across multiple versions
of the snap.

Snaps are a universal packaging format for Linux platforms
and is available for most major Linux distributions.
This commit adds support for building OpenRocket as a snap. The
snap convention is to place snap relevant information in the top
level snap directory. The snapcraft.yaml file provides information
regarding what should be in the snap and how to build it.
