Such files (Thin-%%%%%%.tmp.o) are supposed to be deleted immediately
after they're used (either by renaming or deletion). However, we've seen
instances on Windows where this doesn't happen, probably due to the
filesystem being flaky. This is effectively a resource leak which has
prevented us from using the ThinLTO cache on Windows.

Since those temporary files are in the thinlto cache directory which we
prune periodically anyway, allowing them to be pruned too seems like a
tidy way to solve the problem.
