Attachment: Bug 1646748 - `mach clobber python` no longer deletes arbitrary untracked files in `python/`

This is a documented feature of mach clobber python, which I never noticed until bug 1645889 landed. I think it's fair to say that this is not how one would intuitively expect the command to work given that I'm the "owner" of this mach command and I never noticed this quirk until today. :)

python/ shouldn't contain compiled C extensions or anything and the existing *.py[cdo] and */__pycache__ clauses should get rid of most, if not all, of the relevant garbage in the directory.

If the original behavior turns out to be desirable, we can add it back in (maybe we can use the --full command line option?)
