[JENKINS-49325] @script folder contains full git checkout and is not deleted on cleanup

On any multibranch build, with orphaned item strategy set, workspace directories are deleted, but not @​script folders (on the master) which contain complete copies of the git repository for every branch/PR, etc.. With an active build server and many branches, this extremely rapidly fills up disk space.

Also, ws-cleanup plugin does not remove @​script folders either, so doesn't appear to be a work-around.
