Bug 1747280 - nuke comm/ after cross-channel. r=releng-reviewers,jmaher DONTBUILD

We clean up our Gecko clone between tasks via `hg robustcheckout --purge`, which runs `hg purge`. This is very effective, *but* it doesn't detect or clean up any nested clones.

Because we run cross-channel on Gecko workers, and because we clone `comm/` in cross-channel and haven't cleaned it up, and because `hg purge` doesn't detect or clean up nested clones, and because our current virtualenv setup code traverses the tree and can error out on `comm/` clones, let's clean up `comm/` after running cross-channel.

We'll be moving TB cross-channel to different tasks/workers in bug 1742711, and ideally we can update robustcheckout and/or `hg purge` to be able to detect and/or clean up nested clones.
