Description

I would like to do this (I am trying to build a versioned release package):

pio run -t pre -t buildprog -t buildfs -t post

But buildprog target won't execute if I specify any other targets. build and target_buildprog don't work either.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the target execution ordering in PlatformIO's build system to understand why specifying multiple targets prevents 'buildprog' from running. Examine the source code in the `platformio` project, particularly the logic that handles command line target arguments and their dependencies.
