The make clean target consists of a single rm call that passes every
generated file, object file, and dependency directory. This results in
a command line that's around 53,800 characters long.

On Linux, the maximum length of a command line is 131,072 or 262,144
characters, however on Windows the limit is 32,768.

The 53,800 character command simply fails to run on Windows, which is a
problem when the first command that gets run is make clean.

Break this target into steps, first removing the output files, then the
object files, then any generated garbage, and then the object depedency
directories.

This fixes make clean (and as a result yosys) on Windows.
