Option to clear thumbnails cache

[shibotto]

The cached thumbnails directory can grow to several hundreds of MBs or even GBs very fast. It is currently recommended to manually keep it clean, but I think this script could handle it itself.

I have a quick, dirty solution that works for me on GNU/Linux by deleting a video thumbnail directory on "end-file":

diff --git a/src/thumbnailer_shared.lua b/src/thumbnailer_shared.lua
index 37390e7..f53d774 100644
--- a/src/thumbnailer_shared.lua

 mp.register_event("start-file", function() Thumbnailer:on_start_file() end)

but as I said it's quick and dirty, it doesn't work on Windows and probably other stuff I didn't think about. Since keeping the cache could also have its benefits, it might be a good idea to have this controlled by an option.
