Issue body

### What needs to get done The parts lifecycle explanation doc should cover what happens during post-prime and pack, such as the generating metadata and copying assets. ### Why it needs to get done Snapcraft makes many modifications to the prime directory before packing. These are not documented and it not clear to users what Snapcraft is doing prior to calling `snap pack`. source: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snap-is-unusable-due-to-bad-permissions/41498/3
