Snapcraft should allow prepending/appending additional text from description extracted from adopt-info
Metadata
Current evaluation
Prefix/suffix composition for adopted metadata was declined; maintainers direct packagers to override the complete summary or description instead.
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: The maintainer explicitly said prepend/append behavior would not be added because of complexity and documentation concerns, recommending set-description/set-summary or explicitly declaring the field instead. Current metadata adoption only fills an empty summary or description, so explicit project values already take precedence.

Issue body
Sometimes it is necessary to insert additional text after the snap summary, for example, unofficial snap disclaimer and security confinement information, etc.
Snapcraft should allow packagers to prepend/append custom text before/after the extracted description.
