Outdated snapcraft info at every Ubuntu package

For example check VLC Media Player web site: https://snapcraft.io/install/vlc/ubuntu and check the “Enable snapd” section. There are all kind of Ubuntu distributions listed, but latest Ubuntu 20.04 is not listed.

It looks the same problem is at every Ubuntu package in Snapcraft.

Why not simplify wording instead of:
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) and Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

use:
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Hi, thanks for noticing this issue with the website. For future reference you can scroll to the bottom of any ubuntu page and use the link at the bottom for “report problems with … this site” for issues like this. In this case that will take you to https://github.com/canonical-web-and-design/snapcraft.io/issues.

@popey, thanks for updating web page. But there is still one thing to fix. You removed all not supported versions from first paragraph, which is great, but in second paragraph there is still info:

For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf)

Last one “15.10 Wily Werewolf” is end of life and should be removed if we want to remove non-supported versions from the list.
