docs/snapcraft-syntax.md doesn't discuss build-packages

No scores available.
Issue body
docs/snapcraft-syntax.md discusses stage-packages, but not build-packages, which makes it difficult to determine what build-packages does. The documentation reported by `snapcraft help plugins` explains it well.
