    snap: Don't use a common SnapdClient

    If the client fails (e.g. snapd is restarted) this means that snapd operations
    don't restart. Since GNOME Software runs as a background process this is
    unrecoverable.

    I could have checked for connection failures and reconnected when these occurred
    but this seems simpler. The cost of a SnapdClient is low (basically a single
    socket connection).

    This reverts the change in 696d076.
