This PR introduces a new environment variable AMC_PROPER_CLEAN which, if set to any value, will cause the AMC script to remove all files from the watch directory after FileBot finished sorting the files.

The AMC script already uses the option --def clean=y to perform cleanup. Did you see that this was not working ?

It's been a while, but I think that was it. It wasn't properly cleaning out the watch directory, so there'd be leftover files in there after FileBot ran. This might've already been fixed in newer versions of FileBot, so feel free to close this if you don't think this is an issue anymore :)

I'm still seeing this issue with the current version of FileBot. Sometimes it leaves some featurettes or other metadata files in the inbox folder.

Mostly mkv, some nfo files as well.
