[issue12661] Add a new shutil.cleartree function to shutil module

[Leonid Vasilev]

Added file with sample usage (extracted from real application).

the main purpose of shutil.cleartree()
is to remove unnecessary files from tree, where
patterns of ignored or deleted files are computed
dynamically.

Yes I agree, that it might be done by shell expression, but in case of dynamic patterns it will be hacky.
