Issue body

When tinkering with snapcraft.yaml files, I often get stuff such as this: The 'stage' step for 'storage-framework' needs to be run again, but 'storage-provider-owncloud' depends upon it. Please clean the build step of 'storage-provider-owncloud' first. Now I'm forced to do snapcraft clean storage-provider-owncloud --step=build If something else needs cleaning, I get another message to clean that bit, ad nauseam. This is really annoying. snapcraft knows exactly what needs to be done, so why can't it just do it for me? It would be really nice to have some option to say "just go and build the thing and, while you are at it, if you find something out of date, clean it automatically please."
