…bkr#1046 Steam's snap package keeps its data under ~/snap/steam/common instead of the usual ~/.local/share/Steam, so it was never found by getSteamDirectory()'s candidate list. Add those paths as candidates, and when the resolved directory belongs to the snap, launch Steam through its own /snap/bin/steam wrapper instead of exec'ing steam.sh directly, since invoking the snap's internal script from outside its confinement doesn't reliably work.
