add snappy USE support

Since upstream commit 38d96bd7975e626d490b3d9f9514d81e070a5495, autoconf tries to build with Snappy support unless explicitly disabled. This ebuild patch adds a "snappy" USE flag, and when left disabled will add the required `--disable-snappy` configure-argument. Snappy support depends on the in-tree app-arch/snappy package.

This fix lets people without Snappy (or who don't want to enable it) complete the emerge/compile without build failures.

Note that this commit is on upstream's git-master branch but not currently any of the release branches; when/if this feature makes it to a specific release, this fix should be ported to the corresponding ebuilds at that time.
