[FEATURE REQUEST] Cleaning files in extrn_files

[fanaticize]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I found that the file is left in minion when I do the following.

[root@mymaster ~]# salt 'mytest' cmd.script https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh ' -v'
mytest:
    ----------
    pid:
        59590
    retcode:
        0
    stderr:
    stdout:
        /tmp/__salt.tmp.kxkxfr3w.sh -- Version 2023.11.07

[root@mytest ~]# ls -lR /var/cache/salt/minion/extrn_files/base

If I repeatedly do cmd.script where the source url keeps changing, the garbage will gradually increase.

For now, I periodically delete the files inside /var/cache/salt/minion/extrn_files.

The information of these files could not be found in the salt document.

Describe the solution you'd like I think there are options as follows.

• When the cmd.script is finished, delete the used file in /var/cache/salt/minion/extrn_files.
• Add the function to clean extrn_files in to the saltutil module.

Does saltutil.clear_cache clear it?

Files are deleted, but directories remain.
