fix(release): a snap built in a clone of its own is packed without --output, into the clone

snapcraft builds in LXD with the project mounted at /root/project and passes --output
on unchanged: naming the clone itself, it took the clone for a file in the folder above,
outside the project, and refused it again. Without --output it packs into the clone
(checked with snapcraft 9.2.1 in Todo's clone), from where the release tool moves it.
