+Delete any temp files left the "temp" subdirectory in server's private directory.
+
+The SQLite is configured to use shared page cache. When the shared page cache is enabled,
+those temp files created by SQLite are deleted only when the database gets closed. However,
+if during power down event the client application does not close the database, 
+the temp files will never get deleted.
+This is why the SQL server should deletes all temp files during its start-up.
+
+Note that all errors exept KErrNoMemory are ignored in the function body, becasuse
+the temp files deletion is not a critical operation to prevent the server start up.
