Provide a way to clean up generated sources or downloaded archives #6956
Description
Describe the problem as clearly as you can
#3958 solved the problem of cleaning up leftover .o files, but there are a number of gems that pull in other files (e.g. tarballs, source code, etc.) that aren't cleaned up. For example, the gpgme gem extracts a number of library tarballs and compiles them outside of mkmf. This leaves about 43 MB of data around:

As far as I can tell, there's no way to pass a list of files/directories to clean up so that the make clean used by mkmf will remove these files.
One alternative may be to have extensions download and build these files in a separate temp directory, but there still may be files that are needed to compile the C extension but can removed after. For example, the pg_query gem uses a 10 MB ext/pg_query/include directory that can be removed after the C extension is installed.
Did you try upgrading rubygems & bundler?
Yes.
Post steps to reproduce the problem
gem install gpgme and look at the disk space used in the gems directory.
gem install pg_query would show the ext/pg_query/include directory.
