snapd has experimental support for the `layout` property, which provides the ability to reorganize the environment seen by the snap using bind-mounts, etc. This PR resolves [LP: #1754639](https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1754639) by exposing this feature in the snapcraft CLI, but it warns that it's still experimental.

| #1754639 snapd layout feature not supported | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without resolution due to inactivity. The snapcraft validation error for the snapd layout property was not addressed here, likely superseded by later snapcraft releases that added native layout support. |
