[OE-core] [PATCH] bash: Remove .build files for reproducible builds

[Joshua Watt]

Bash has an internal "build number" that it tracks and automatically
increments ever time a given builds is made from the same sandbox.
However, this can make builds non-reproducible in the event that a build
directory is reused multiple times.

Remove the .build files after every build if reproducible builds have
been requested which will reset the build build number for the next
build.
