Disrecommend Flutter snap (Corrosion builds fail)
If Flutter has not been installed before building VeilidChat on Linux, the user can end up with CMake 3.16.3 and encounter errors for Corrosion files that require CMake 3.22 or later. Unfortunately, recovering from this is apparently more complex than putting a newer cmake earlier in the PATH, so it's perhaps best not to obtain CMake 3.16.3 in the first place. The set of conflicts that cause this issue to exist include: veilidchat indirectly recommends the Flutter snap:268b86d131/setup_linux.sh (L19)

https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux "The easiest way to install Flutter on Linux is by using snapd." Flutter apparently requires CMake 3.16.3 and someone is not especially interested in newer versions. Historically, CMake in the Flutter snap has been multiple minor versions behind upstream CMake (e.g., 3.10 when a user needed 3.16, 3.16 when a user needed 3.22, etc.):9427b77376/packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/linux/linux_doctor_test.dart (L120)
https://github.com/canonical/flutter-snap/issues/53 https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/101726#issuecomment-1095681610 "We discourage plugin developers from requiring a newer version of CMake than Flutter requires, but we cannot control what third-party developers do. ... If you want to use the snap installation, and want an update with a newer version of CMake, you'd need to file a request at https://github.com/canonical/flutter-snap" When the Flutter snap is installed, flutter commands execute cmake from within the snap's read-only filesystem, and do not use the cmake found in the PATH. This may lead to challenges regardless of whether the user already has a /usr/bin/cmake that is recent enough, or whether the user needs to replace /usr/bin/cmake by following the https://apt.kitware.com process. 3.16.3 is not recent enough because veilid uses Corrosion from GitHub:f59c4509ea/veilid-flutter/linux/rust.cmake (L11)
