This PR adds the common cursor, icon and sound themes to the `kde-neon` extension using the `gtk-common-themes` content snap. Unlike its name implies, the cursor, icon and sound themes are also applicable to Qt/KDE applications.
This fixes the issue where applications using this extension have a weird pixelated cursor on default Ubuntu.
I tested this by building the Krita snap using this extension: https://invent.kde.org/merlijnsebrechts/krita/blob/neon-extension/packaging/linux/snap/snapcraft.yaml Without this PR, the cursor is correct on Kubuntu, but incorrect on Ubuntu. With this PR, the cursor is correct on both flavors.
