cli: create new snapcraft entry point (CRAFT-729)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged #3616, adding a new Snapcraft CLI entry point that initially delegates to the legacy implementation; dispatch logic was deferred to future work (merge 6d233500c).
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #3616 was merged as 6d233500c, with implementation commit f96915bf9. It established the new entry point while preserving existing legacy execution, completing the scoped CRAFT-729 change.

Issue body
Set a new entry point to the snapcraft application. This currently
invokes the legacy implementation in all cases (future PRs will
add logic to decide between new and legacy code execution).
