feat(bob): support custom target definitions (#732)

### Summary

This adds the `custom` target to bob. Users are able to pass arbitrary
scripts via this target and bob will call those scripts.

### Test plan

1. Configure bob in a new project
2. Define the `custom` target
3. Define a script that generates some files
4. Call bob build and make sure the script was called with the right
package manager

 You can ensure your Codegen generated scaffold code is stable through different React Native versions by shipping it with your library. You can find more in the [React Native Official Docs](https://reactnative.dev/docs/the-new-architecture/codegen-cli#including-generated-code-into-libraries).
 
+#### `custom`
+
+Define a custom build target. This is useful to call code generators during the build process.
+
+##### `script`
+
+Accepts a script name. `bob` will call the matching script defined under `package.json`'s `scripts` property. The build process **will throw and exit** if the target is defined without this option.
+
+##### `clean`
+
+You can pass a path to this option and `bob` will delete all the files on that path. The path is resolved relatively to where `build` was called from.
+
 #### `commonjs`
 
 Enable compiling source files with Babel and use CommonJS module system.
