[MNG-8246] Calling pre-clean results in calling before:clean/clean/after:clean

Description

If I call Maven 4.0.0-beta-4 like this:

mvn pre-clean

That will result in execution of the life cycle phases:

• before:clean
• clean
• after:clean
  I can use also post-clean which results in exactly the same executions (which is expected). Also things like pre-integration-test results in execution of many phases in contradiction to Maven 3.X.
  If I do the same with Maven 3.X only the pre-clean is being executed (as expected).

The question here is:

• The user expected to execute only the pre-clean phase which is deprecated in Maven 4.0.0-beta-4+
  • Should we produce a WARNING about the wrong usage of the phase? And continue as shown above.
  • Should we fail and do not accept pre-clean anymore? But that would mean in consequence to prevent calling with anything like pre-integration-test etc.

You can reproduce this with the example: https://github.com/khmarbaise/maven-bugs/tree/master/MNG-8244
