Bug Description

[Impact]
The Snap Store changed the names of some of the sections. This means that these are no longer mapped to the XDG categories used in GNOME Software. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/merge_requests/279

[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
2. Go to graphics categeory.

Expected result:
Snaps are shown

Observer result:
Only .debs are shown

[Regression Potential]
Fix is just to change the name mappings, should be low risk.
