Add reuse-packages documentation
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer requests adding reuse-packages-between-builds how-to doc, mirroring Snapcraft's. Common doc exists in craft-application; Charmcraft needs wrapper page and index entry.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Triaged documentation enhancement filed by a maintainer and tracked in Jira (CHARMCRAFT-687). Charmcraft's docs/conf.py already excludes the common craft-application reuse-packages doc, and docs/howto/build-remotely.rst shows the wrapper-page pattern, so the remaining work is creating docs/howto/reuse-packages.rst and adding it to the how-to index.
