chore: update snapcraft to 8.14.5 and build pygit2 1.18
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer chore PR: pin Snapcraft 8.14.5 and build libgit2 1.9.1 from source so pygit2 1.18 compiles on Ubuntu 24.04. 1 file, +19/-1; lint/spread/publish pass but both build-rock jobs (amd64, arm64) fail; 2 unresolved review comments, no activity for 109 days.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The stated goal is fixing compilation for pygit2 1.18, yet both self-hosted build-rock jobs (amd64 and arm64) are failing, alongside2 unresolved review comments and a 'pending' review with zero reviewers — so this is not ready for maintainer review, only author follow-up. Inactivity alone (109 days, 0 comments) is not grounds to close, and the change itself is a plausible, maintainer-authored toolchain fix consistent with PRs #104/#105.

Issue body
pygit2 >=1.18 requires libgit2 1.9.x to compile its C extensions.
Ubuntu 24.04 only ships libgit2 1.7, so we build libgit2 1.9.1
from source, matching the approach used in the snapcraft snap.

Renovate's core22-8 bump to Snapcraft 8.14.5; this maintainer PR covers the same pin plus the libgit2/pygit2 build fix, so #104 may be redundant once this lands.

Same core24-8 Snapcraft 8.14.5 update with identical failing build-rock jobs; likely overlapping scope with this PR.
