By default, testsuite should clean up after successful tests
A fully built GHC compiler for development takes about 1G of space. However, running the testsuite balloons this amount to 10G. Why? Because we don't clear away any test files by default.
Now, it's pretty useful to have these files if you're debugging a problem. But I think it's pretty unnecessary for successful tests. So I suggest cleaning out the files automatically if the test succeeds.
Tradeoff: the testsuite will take longer to run since it is cleaning up after itself.
