Until this commit, the default storage location for profiles on disk was in
$SNAP_DATA/profiles, but as highlighted in both #4708 and in https://snapcraft.io/docs/data-locations, the$SNAP_DATAdirectory is versioned per-revision of the snap, whereas$SNAP_COMMONpersists across revisions.This change leaves config in the same location in
$SNAP_DATA, because versioning config files with revisions might still be desirable.Existing installs should not be affected, as the default is set on first run.
Fixes #4708
