ByteBuddy pollutes the temp folder with agent jar's

See original GitHub issue

ByteBuddy leaves hundres of byteBuddyAgent############.jar files in Win10 under

C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Temp

grafik

Maybe it is a good idea to check for this specific pattern at startup and delete them.

I included a Byte Buddy update in https://github.com/mockito/mockito/pull/1378 - This should avoid the jar creation.

Then I suggest the following: In the Mockito Inline Mock maker:

detect if running Windows.
Start a seperate demon thread
Scan the folder in which the temporary file of this run was created for files and remove any other file matching the pattern.

Since I am not running Windows: would you be willing to create a PR?
