Subject: [PATCH v2 06/14] selftests/nolibc: add mrproper for development

When want to start a new building with O= option, the old generated
files in the source code tree must be mrproper-ed, adding mrproper
target here to avoid switch to the source code tree manually.

Same as previous one, I'm not convinced about the benefit at all.
As a user I would expect that it cleans everything in the build
directory while in fact it seems it will only apply to the kernel.
