tests/functional: automatically clean up scratch files after tests
The build/tests/functional subdirectories are consuming huge amounts
of disk space.
Split the location for scratch files into a 'scratch' sub-directory,
separate from log files, and delete it upon completion of each test.
The new env variable QEMU_TEST_KEEP_SCRATCH can be set to preserve
this scratch dir for debugging access if required.
