Overview

Delivers ANE-2565

Now that we have fossa analyze --snippet-scan in GA, we no longer need the fossa snippets subcommand.

Also, here's a Slack thread where Cortez notes that the existence of fossa snippets and fossa analyze --snippet-scan is causing confusion.

This PR removes the subcommand and any associated documentation.

Millhone is still used by Jars in Containers, so we will keep Millhone around for that.

Acceptance criteria

  • The fossa snippets subcommand no longer exists
  • Add documentation and references to the fossa snippets subcommand are removed

Testing plan

  • The build passes
  • You can no longer run fossa snippets
  • fossa help does not mention fossa snippets
  • Read through the docs and make sure there are no more references to fossa snippets
