add support for the "website" field in snapcraft
Metadata
Current evaluation
PR #2164 was closed unmerged because snapd and review tools lacked website support and the proposed code did not work; passthrough was recommended. Later metadata-link support landed in snapcraft#4275 (de56fe6a1).
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: Maintainer kyrofa advised holding off until ecosystem support solidified, noting the implementation would not work, and the author closed the PR the same day. It remained unmerged; later metadata-link output support was implemented in snapcraft#4275 at commit de56fe6a1.
