Issue body

Currently, snapcraft provides an `after` spec for parts which allows one to say build this part after this other one, but oftentimes it would be useful to be able to specify the inverse, build this part _before_ these other ones. While this functionality is technically possible today by just putting after in all the ones you want to order before, a single before can make it more clear in the snapcraft.yaml and simplify build ordering significantly sometimes.
