Use craft-application lifecycle commands
Metadata
Current evaluation
Most bespoke lifecycle commands were replaced with craft-application's upstream commands by merged PR #1538 (commit 5e3b927c); pack cleanup followed in #1704 (cfc37020).
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Merged PR canonical/charmcraft#1538, commit 5e3b927c, replaced most bespoke lifecycle commands with craft-application upstream implementations. The remaining pack migration cleanup was completed by merged PR #1704, commit cfc37020.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Except for `pack` and possibly `clean` (for backwards compatibility), we don't need to define our own lifecycle commands.
The commands we do need to modify for charmcraft should, if possible, use the lifecycle commands' extensible interface.
### Why it needs to get done
These commands are cruft and will begin to diverge from other craft applications.
