Feature Request: make clean

[Shreeshrii]

Currently

# Clean all generated files
clean:
    find $(GROUND_TRUTH_DIR) -name '*.box' -delete
    find $(GROUND_TRUTH_DIR) -name '*.lstmf' -delete
    rm -rf $(OUTPUT_DIR)

In certain cases it maybe desirable to not redo the processing for box files and lstmf files but to rerun just the training part. I suggest multiple clean targets eg.

make clean-box make clean-lstmf make clean-output

and

make clean (that cleans all files).

@Shreeshrii Don't close it! It is still a valid Feature Request, right? I was pretty busy with other stuff lately, but will eventually get to this one. Pls. apologize the delay.

My current feeling about this feature request is that we just need to change the collowing code: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesstrain/blob/e9b375f9b3d293e51a0cfdb8e276e5f22af8d1e8/Makefile#L331-L335

into something like:

# Clean generated .box files
clean-box:
    find $(GROUND_TRUTH_DIR) -name '*.box' -delete

# Clean generated .lstmf files
clean-lstmf:
    find $(GROUND_TRUTH_DIR) -name '*.lstmf' -delete

# Clean generated ouptut files
clean-output:
    rm -rf $(OUTPUT_DIR)

# Clean all generated files
clean: clean-box clean-lstmf clean-output   

Do you want me to send a pull request about this?
