snapcraft remote-build login url is badly formatted
Metadata
Current evaluation
Reports that the snapcraft remote-build login URL included a trailing closing parenthesis, breaking terminal URL detection. No maintainer response in ~4.4 years; the remote-build command was later removed from snapcraft, so the issue is obsolete.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 1645 days old with 0 comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction, and it targets the `snapcraft remote-build` command, which was deprecated in snapcraft 4.1 and removed in 7.0 — the reported code path no longer exists, so the problem is no longer applicable rather than merely inactive. Confidence is moderate because repo/issue-corpus tools were unavailable to directly confirm the removal in this snapshot.

Issue body
I just failed to login snapcraft remote-build numerous times:
Clicking on the link in the terminal and signing in on Launchpad, it would always take me to a "Oops, you don't have permissions to view this page".
Eventually I realized that it would include the closing ) in the url. Seems the message should be formatted differently to not impact the URL parsing of the terminal.
See the attached screenshot, the url is underlined, including the )
