Add link from `snapcraft register` to documentation
Metadata
Current evaluation
Documentation link added to snapcraft register by merged PR #6213 (commit 39f7a1f43), despite the issue also being marked superseded by open-documentation-academy#303.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Merged PR #6213 added the registration how-to URL to snapcraft register output in commit 39f7a1f43. Although canonical/open-documentation-academy#303 had been expected to cover the work, the requested CLI change was completed.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
We should have a single source of truth for process/policies/expectations/requirements. Should include:
- Ideally snaps should be organic to the app. Try to first reach out to the upstream developers to have this snap published officially.
- If the snap is external to the repo and you're not the developer of the snapped app, namespace the snap like so: <user>-<app_name>
- At least 4 characters
- For Canonical employees, the snap should either be under a Canonical repository, or published through a personal store account.
- If you require a classically confined snap, it will likely be approved if it fits one of the following categories:
- terminal emulators, multiplexers, and shells
- etc.
### Why it needs to get done
Currently the information is segmented across systems and individuals, creating surprises in the snap registration process.
