Fix kde-neon-6 LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Metadata
Current evaluation
Superseded by merged PR canonical/snapcraft#6016 (commit 3fc9abd0b), which corrected KDE Neon 6 environment handling by relying on launcher configuration.
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: PR #6002 was explicitly closed after its author opened replacement PR #6016. That replacement was merged as commit 3fc9abd0b and removed the extension-added environment overrides in favor of desktop-launch configuration.

Issue body
I noticed that in Snapcraft, before the lxqt-support changes, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH looked something like this:
```LD_LIBRARY_PATH: ${SNAP_LIBRARY_PATH}${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$SNAP/usr/lib:$SNAP/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu```
However, after the lxqt-support changes, this was replaced, and instead of the lxqt-support paths being added.
```LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $SNAP/lxqt-support-core24/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}```
Now the LD_LIBRARY_PATH should look something like this:
```LD_LIBRARY_PATH: ${SNAP_LIBRARY_PATH}${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$SNAP/usr/lib:$SNAP/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$SNAP/lxqt-support-core24/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu```
