Make snippets globally accessible on a system

[kpinnipa]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now snippets are created and saved into a folder that is separate for each directory. This means that when jupyterlab is launched from a different directory it can be hard to access those snippets because they are in a folder in a separate directory.

Describe the solution you'd like
Figure out a way to make snippets available anywhere jupyterlab is launched. This way snippets from other projects can be used in a new workspace without needing to recreate them. This means sending all the snippets created to one location on the user's computer.

I think this would be great to have, and ideally configurable from JupyterLab's advanced settings.

Incidentally I would welcome the possibility to pick from several directories - to allow for instance personal code snippets along with shared code snippets.

That's because I would love to have the possibility to share code snippets to a group of users from a JupyterHub environment.
