Enhancement: add `conan cleanup` command

See original GitHub issue

After a package was built the dir .conan/.../build (and possibly .conan/.../source) is unwanted. There should be a way to delete it.
Some binary tools and libs (Qt, for instance) write cache, config, etc. in their directories (.conan/.../package) during application build. There should be a way to delete all files that are not in the package manifest.
When using conan test_package a build dir and .pyc files are created in test_package dir. There should be a way to delete them.

Hi, as #2050 was closed, and as I agree with @maddanio that conan remove * -b -s -f is hard to remember (I have had to google my way here a few times already!), would it be possible to add the conan clean alias built-in?
