spec: add "stage-slices" for chisel slices
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged the addition of a stage-slices specification to handle chisel slice naming conventions, which require underscores unlike standard .deb packages. Approved by one reviewer, modified two files, and resolved CRAFT-1329.

No scores available.
Issue body
The slices are defined in the regular "stage-packages" by virtue of the fact that .deb package names *cannot* have underscores while chisel slices *must always* have an underscore to distinguish between package name and the specific slice.
