Subject: LIGO RFE to optionally delete stdout/stderr files automatically

This is a request for enhancement to have Condor automatically delete
stdout and stderr output files upon individual job completion.


Here is an example implementation:

STDIO_CLEANUP = {always|success|empty|never}

This controls when to delete the stdout and stderr output files:

always: Always delete regardless of content or job exit status.
success: Delete only if the job completes successfully regardless
	of the size or contents of the file.
empty: Delete if and only if the files are empty, regardless of job
	exit status.
never: Do not delete these files.

For backwards compatibility "never" is the default.

Note, if anyone thinks it is worth splitting, this could become
the two knobs: STDOUT_CLEANUP and STDERR_CLEANUP.

Thanks.

Additional feedback from LIGO users indicates that it would be useful
to add "success_and_empty" as another option, and to separate
STDOUT_CLEANUP and STDERR_CLEANUP.

Thanks.
