Add just molecule-clean

Browse Source 
`just molecule` leaves a shared virtualenv of over 500 MB under var/, plus a
~7 MB Ansible home per role that has a scenario. Neither is reclaimed by
anything today.

`--idle-days N` limits it to what has not been touched recently, so it can be
run unattended without taking the cache out from under a scenario being worked
on right now.

The two directories are named explicitly rather than globbed: var/ holds other
things and must never be removed wholesale.

The directories are disposable; `var/` is gitignored. Delete `var/molecule-ansible-home/` to force
a fresh install.
## Reclaiming the disk space
`just molecule-clean` removes what the runs leave under `var/`.
Two things live there. The per-role Ansible homes are ~7 MB each, rewritten on every run rather
than grown, so they are bounded by the number of roles that have a scenario. The shared virtualenv
is the bulk of it, over 500 MB, and is recreated on the next run at the cost of a `pip install`.
`--idle-days N` restricts it to what has not been touched in N days, which is what makes it safe to
run unattended. `--yes` skips the confirmation.
