This snap contains the ROS 2 foxy ros-base variant [1].
It provides the ROS 2 foxy stack to other snaps to that use it.
It shares the ROS 2 foxy libraries, components and executables
through the content interface.
This helps reduce the size of snaps and helps developers to easily snap ROS 2 foxy applications.
