Type of change

- [ ] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature development
- [x] Tech debt (refactoring, code cleanup, dependency upgrades, etc)
- [ ] Build/deploy pipeline (DevOps)
- [ ] Other

Objective

With #5038 being now merged, you should build the snap with the compression algorithm that gives the best results for desktop apps; according to Canonical, the use of the LZO compression offers 40-74% cold startup improvements over the XZ compression:

• https://snapcraft.io/blog/snap-speed-improvements-with-new-compression-algorithm

Code changes

I've just added the compression option in the top snap key, and configured the value to lzo

Should fix #2609

Bump; come on let's get this merged. The snap is very slow still.

@pachulo Thank you for your contribution and apologies on the long wait for a review.

With #7448 we also bumped the snap-core version from core18 to core22, which we expect to bring some more improvements for the Bitwarden snap.

Approving the changes. Going to create a separate branch to kick-off all the build workflows, which will gives us feedback on new file-sizes. Then passing it on to QA for testing.

The build is currently failing https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/actions/runs/7490825186/job/20390598188?pr=7517

Didn't quite get why AppImage is complaining, because we are changing the compression for snap. We'll need to look into it. Seems this issue has been reported at electron-userland/electron-builder#7013
