Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Explain how to enable USB on snap-packaged Chromium

The installer documentation previously claimed that USB on Chromium packaged by Ubuntu is broken. This was not accurate as it's just disabled and can be easily enabled.

This commit removes/corrects the statements about Snap being problematic and adds a section that explains which command can fix the problem.
