Cleanup ./tmp when done installing

[avindra]

du -h --max-depth=1 tmp/
23M     tmp/phantomjs

The tmp/ folder remains on the filesystem everything is installed and moved into place. Can we get a cleanup in place to get rid of the 23M of tmp files?

some users take advantage of this so that downloads are cached.

we would accept a pull request to make this an opt-in setting.

I also like tmpwatcher/tmpreaper for cleaning up tmp on machines periodically.

After moving the folder phantomjs-version-platform[1] to lib/phantom, the temporary folder phantomjs-version-platform.extension-extract-new Date()[2] remain in file system. Can we get ride of it after moving the relevant files ?

[1] phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64 for example
[2] phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2-extract-1455233501966 for example

👍 to "make this an opt-in setting".

Keeping the download is fine and will help to mitigate network issues.
It's the fact that it produces a new extract folder every time it runs. On a CI server this produces
a silly amount of empty extract directories.

Any update of this ?
