Add git-clean command
This command removes untracked files from the working tree. This implementation is based on cg-clean with some simplifications. The documentation is included.

+NAME
+----
+git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-clean' [-d] [-n] [-q] [-x | -X]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Removes files unknown to git. This allows to clean the working tree
+from files that are not under version control. If the '-x' option is
+specified, ignored files are also removed, allowing to remove all
+build products.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-d::
+ Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files.
+
+-n::
+ Don't actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
+
+-q::
+ Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are
+ successfully removed.
+
+-x::
+ Don't use the ignore rules. This allows removing all untracked
+ files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
+ conjunction with gitlink:git-reset[1]) to create a pristine
+ working directory to test a clean build.
+
+-X::
+ Remove only files ignored by git. This may be useful to rebuild
+ everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
