-----
Currently, if a step for a given part has already run, the snapcraft CLI won't run it again without it first being cleaned. For example, if the `pull` step of part `A` had already run, running `snapcraft pull A` would say that it had already run, and skip it. This PR resolves [LP: #1774260](https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1774260) by changing this behavior so that, if a part is specified, that step for that part is cleaned and re-run.
