Build cleanup script

Use scripts/Clean-BuildArtifacts.ps1 to safely clean generated outputs. The script also prunes empty intermediate parent folders such as x64 and Win2DViewer\x64.

Preview only:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\scripts\Clean-BuildArtifacts.ps1 -Configuration All -Platform All -WhatIf

Clean x64 Debug/Release outputs:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\scripts\Clean-BuildArtifacts.ps1 -Configuration All -Platform x64

Also clean .vs cache and *.binlog:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\scripts\Clean-BuildArtifacts.ps1 -Configuration All -Platform All -IncludeSolutionCache -IncludeBinLogs
