interfaces,docs: allow sharing SNAP{,_DATA,_COMMON} via content iface (#2063)
This patch expands the features of the content interface to allow sharing files from either $SNAP (the snap content), $SNAP_DATA (the per-revision snap data) or $SNAP_COMMON (the data common across revisions). The old syntax, without any of those variables behaves as if $SNAP was implicitly used so backwards compatiblity is retained. Signed-off-by: Zygmunt Krynicki <zygmunt.krynicki@canonical.com>

+The all of the three attributes can start with either ``$SNAP``, ``$SNAP_DATA``
+or ``$SNAP_COMMON`` to refer to the designated directory. By default, if no
+other variable is used then ``$SNAP`` is implicitly assumed. This is the same
+syntax that was used when the content interface was originally introduced.
