Add delete_builds.pl - a utility for making space quickly on build machines
This Perl script deletes some directories known to contain very large files first, before
deleting the rest of the build which contains millions of small files. Given multiple
builds, it will do this breadth first, so that lost of space is released quickly.

Usage: perl delete_builds.pl dir1 [dir2 ...]
Delete one or more builds, making free space as quickly as possible
by deleting a few selected directories first
You can use wildcards in the directory names, and they can be either
individual builds or directories of builds. A build is identified by
the present of an "output" subdirectory.
