docs: add 'reuse packages between builds'
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged package-reuse documentation into main via commit 6bcd80179; the 8.12 backport was deferred because it required canonical/craft-application#892.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #5810 was merged into main with commit 6bcd80179. The maintainer confirmed that backporting it to 8.12 was not worthwhile without the related craft-application changes.
