Issue body
When you register a name, snapcraft currently shows this message:
```
We always want to ensure that users get the software they expect
for a particular name.
If needed, we will rename snaps to ensure that a particular name
reflects the software most widely expected by our community.
For example, most people would expect ‘thunderbird’ to be published by
Mozilla. They would also expect to be able to get other snaps of
Thunderbird as 'thunderbird-$username'.
Would you say that MOST users will expect 'ikbestani' to come from
you, and be the software you intend to publish there?
```

This message has a couple of issues:
* It implies third parties cannot publish snaps and guides users towards using their username as a suffix.
* It talks about "renaming snaps" even though that is not possible.
As a result, many people initially add their username as a suffix to the snap they are creating. Even though that is discouraged by many snapcraft developers, many snaps in the snap store are managed by third parties, and the docs discourage suffixes: https://snapcraft.io/docs/registering-your-app-name.
