[petsc-dev] remove temporary output with new test-harness

[Scott Kruger]

The generated scripts automatically run in a subdirectory to avoid name 
conflicts.  For example, runex1.sh creates a runex1 directory relative
to its location and then runs the actual test in there.  These temporary 
directories are not removed automatically by the test harness as it 
hasn't been a problem yet.
