This cleans up files generated by rustc compiler in the case of an
error containing an excessively long type name that doesn't fit in
a single line. Such types appear relatively frequently so the risk
of generating these files certainly exists. These files are purely
compiler artifacts and are not created intentionally by the build
system. They should be added to the `clean` target to stop from
cluttering up the source tree.
