`eleventy clean` to remove output

See original GitHub issue

See https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/blob/HEAD/docs/remove.md

Must not delete any files not generated by the tool.
Should probably implement as a destroy method on Template

Cheating methods that probably aren’t good enough:

Delete output directory if input and output don’t match (or if input isn’t a directory of output)

Currently this is not implemented, so the workaround is to just delete the /_site folder and re-run npx @11ty/eleventy. This works fine as long as you have not made changes in files within /_site.

I’m confused. If all enhancements are marked as closed how do we know if this is done or not?
