Cannot find chromium installed through Ubuntu Software store #61

Ubuntu Software store in 18.04 installs chromium binaries in a non-standard /snap directory.

Lorca only looks here on linux:

paths = []string{
	"/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable",
	"/usr/bin/google-chrome",
	"/usr/bin/chromium",
	"/usr/bin/chromium-browser",
}

If chromium is installed this way, you get this runtime error:

2019/05/15 23:28:33 fork/exec : no such file or directory
exit status 1

The /snap path would be a helpful addition for Ubuntu Software Center chromium downloads.

I worked around this problem by installing google-chrome-stable
