Document site cleanup behaviour. 

As per #2014, document the fact that the destination directory is
'cleaned up', such that "obsolete" files (files which do not have a
known input Page, Post or StaticFile) are deleted, when a site is
rebuilt.

Resolves #2014.

<h5>Destination folders are cleaned on site builds</h5>
<p>
Be aware that the contents of the <code>&lt;destination&gt;</code>
folder are automatically cleaned when the site is built. Files or
folders that are not created by your site will be removed. Do not
use an important location for <code>&lt;destination&gt;</code>;
instead, use it as a staging area and copy files from there to
your web server.
