patch to integrate cache clean script into main.cxx

This patch adds the clean script to main.cxx, after the temp directory is
removed. I tested it on a local build and it works nicely.

The current limit is defined in a macro in cache.h, set to 20mb. This is just a
random guess at an appropriate size.

Ideas:
* modify the script to output the name/path of the removed folder to be extra
verbose
(these 2 would probably require more members in struct systemtap_session)
* there should probably be a cl switch to disable (or enable?) the cache
clearing
* specify the max cache size as a cl switch 
* a better eviction policy than oldest by access time ?

If any of those sound good let me know and I can work on it.
