Ethan Atkins c77a26e832 Update clean task to use globs
The clean task is unreasonably slow because it does a lot of redundant
io. In this commit, I update clean to be implemented using globs. This
allows us to (optionally) route io through the file system cache. There
is a significant performance improvement to this change. Currently,
running clean on the sbt project takes O(6 seconds) on my machine. After
this change, it takes O(1 second).

To implement this, I added a new setting cleanKeepGlobs to replace
cleanKeepFiles. I don't think that cleanKeepFiles returning Seq[File] is
a big deal for performance because, by default, it just contains the
history file so there isn't much benefit to accessing a single file
through the cache. The reason I added the setting was more for
consistency and to help push people towards globs in their own task
implementations.

Part of the performance improvement comes from inverting the problem.
Before we would walk the file system tree from the base and recursively
delete leafs and nodes in a depth first traversal. Now we collect all of
the files that we are interested in deleting in advance. We then sort
the results lexically by path name and then perform the deletions in
that order. Because children will always comes first in this scheme,
this will generally allow us to delete a directory.

There is an edge case that if files are created in a subdirectory after
we've created the list to delete, but before the subdirectory is
deleted, then that subdirectory will not be deleted. In general, this
will tend to impact target/streams because writes occur to
target/streams during traversal. I don't think this really matters for
most users. If the target directory is being concurrently modified with
clean, then the user is doing something wrong.

To ensure legacy compatibility, I re-implement cleanKeepFiles to return
no files. Any plugin that was appending files to the cleanKeepFiles task
with `+=` or `++=` will continue working as before because I explicitly
add those files to the list to delete. I updated the actions/clean-keep
scripted test to use both cleanKeepFiles and cleanKeepGlobs to ensure
both tasks are correctly used.

Bonus: add debug logging of all deleted files
