Description

It would be nice if there was a global config property for automatically deleting the generated .src.rock after running luarocks upload, so I don't have to do it manually.

Research direction

Start by reading the luarocks upload command and its configuration handling to locate where the generated .src.rock is retained. Define the configuration property and verify that enabling it removes the generated archive after a successful upload, while leaving the current behavior unchanged by default.
