Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

I was attempting to change the snippet of markdown to be a Gitlab project snippet, and it would not publish to a project snippet using an apitoken from that project. It failed with a 404 snippet not found error.
It works fine if using a global snippet.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Would like to move the snippet to the project it is associated with.

Additional Context

This appears to be related to the api call or where the token is defined.
There is another api available for project snippets, but the snippet api seems to work for both project and global snippets when reading.
The other thing I'm doing is using an apitoken defined in the project. It's possible that only works with the project api.

I will do some additional investigation.

On further investigation this was caused by the API used in combination with a project access token.
A project access token can only use the project API.
A personal access token can use either API.
Since this plugin uses the snippet API, the project token did not have the capability of updating the snippet through that API.

Adding logic to accept a project id would allow for use of the project API, when a project ID is specified, and the snippet API otherwise. This would facilitate the use of project access tokens.

We can work on a pull request for this.
