Auto merge of #1655 - jtgeibel:manually-trigger-clean-on-ci, r=jtgeibel

Add a manual trigger to clean the cache on CI

When we bump a low-level dependency, such as `libc`, a large number of
crates are rebuilt and this can grow our cache to the point where
caching hits a timeout (and is not persisted).

By changing the value of `manual_stamp` in the script, the cache can be
cleared without waiting for the next compiler release.
