Current evaluation

Feature request to add unprime (clean parts up to the prime point) to craft-parts for prime-directory rerouting with craft providers. Unimplemented, unlabelled, last activity a 2024 bot comment; motivating snapcraft#4219 was fixed in snapcraft itself.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: No labels, no assignee, and the only comment is a 2024-05-17 bot ticket-sync (CRAFT-2952) — no maintainer has assessed or prioritized this in ~3 years. The feature remains unimplemented (no 'unprime' in craft-parts source or history), while the motivating snapcraft#4219 was closed as fixed by snapcraft PR #4347, which 'restores legacy unprime behavior' in snapcraft itself. A maintainer should decide whether the craft-parts feature is still wanted given that workaround, or close it.

Issue body

### What needs to get done We need to be able to unprime, that is, to clean parts up to the prime point ### Why it needs to get done We need to unprime for the cases where the prime directory get's rerouted, such as when we use craft providers to mount a new prime directory into the instance. This would solve https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/issues/4219
