Purge old jemalloc files from cache on cache miss (eg on stack or jemalloc version change)
This buildpack compiles jemalloc during the build and caches the result under a stack and jemalloc-specific path: https://github.com/gaffneyc/heroku-buildpack-jemalloc/blob/a7fe9271f64c861debe9b6cc814203c17e7e68dc/bin/compile#L37-L38
This correctly ensures that a recompile happens if the stack or requested jemalloc version changes.
However, currently the buildpack does not remove these cached items on cache miss, meaning the cache will continue to grow in size each time the stack or requested jemalloc version changes (unless users know to manually clear their build cache using a special CLI plugin).
To resolve this, the buildpack could do an rm -rf "${CACHE_DIR}/jemalloc/"
on cache miss before the download/recompile, here:
