Clean package perf improvements
### What does this PR try to resolve?
I've noticed that `cargo clean -p` execution time scales poorly with size of target directory; in my case (~250GB target directory on M1 Mac) running `cargo clean -p` takes circa 35 seconds. Notably, it's the file listing that takes that time, not deleting the package itself. That is, when running `cargo clean -p SOME_PACKAGE` twice in a row, both executions take roughly the same time.
I've tracked it down to the fact that we seem quite happy to use `glob::glob` function, which iterates over contents of target dir. It also was a bit sub-optimal when it came to doing that, for which I've already filled a PR in rust-lang/glob#144 - that PR alone takes down cleaning time down to ~14 seconds. While it is a good improvement for a relatively straightforward change, this PR tries to take it even further. With glob PR applied + changes from this PR, my test case goes down to ~6 seconds. I'm pretty sure that we could squeeze this further, but I'd rather do so in a follow-up PR.
Notably, this PR doesn't help with *just* super-large target directories. `cargo clean -p serde` on cargo repo (with ~7Gb target directory size) went down from ~380ms to ~100ms for me. Not too shabby.
### How should we test and review this PR?
I've mostly tested it manually, running `cargo clean` against multiple different repos.
### Additional information
TODO:
- [x] [c770700](c770700) is not quite correct; we need to consider that it changes how progress reporting works; as is, we're gonna report all progress relatively quickly and stall at the end (when we're actually iterating over directories, globbing, removing files, that kind of jazz). I'll address that.
