Description: 

A hook_config_import_steps_alter(&$sync_steps) hook has been added to modify the list of steps running in configuration sync. The hook can be used to alter all the steps, add new ones or change the core ones. Removing the core sync steps may be dangerous unless you provide compatible functionality. Again, you should really know what you are doing if removing steps.

Each step should either be a method name on the ConfigImporter class or a callable (see http://php.net/is_callable).

Examples of extra added steps would be
