`before_package` ignored when `build_script` is used

`before_package` is no longer being executed after I've replaced `build` step with `build_script` (as a workaround for https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/32380-vs-build-fails-if-vcxitems-project-is-included).
It does seem to work if I place the relevant script into `after_build` step instead.

`before_package` has the following description `# scripts to run *after* solution is built and *before* automatic packaging occurs`. Perhaps `automatic packaging` refers to the `build` step, but I couldn't find any other documentation that mentions this, so I'm not sure if it's actually a bug or just missing information in documentation.

    It's by design, I'm afraid. before_package works only with automatic build. When build_script is used it's assumed all build and packaging commands are provided by the user.
