Issue body

According to the [setuptools documentation](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html?highlight=long_description#id54) the `description` key is equivalent to Snapcraft's `summary` key and the `long_description` key is equivalent to Snapcraft's `description` key, however currently Snapcraft uses the `description` key's value as the snap description and ignores the `long_description` key in setup.py, I would like to request changing the behavior to match with setuptools.
