Fini Jastrow afd7ba1017 patch-em-all: Purge destination dirs if possible
[why]
When the file names of the source files change which happened for example
with these commits:
  ac432eb20 Updated Inconsolata source to latest upstream version of 2.001 (WIP #289)
  9c5ad2c78 Updated Inconsolata source to latest upstream version of 2.001 (WIP #289)

or the patched font files naming changes because of any other reason:

The patched-font directory will contain the new files along with the
unchanged old ones (because they where not overwritten).

Typically when manually updating the patched-fonts this is not a
problem, as the maintainer can clean this up by hand (if it is noticed).
But with a github action we might want to have that automatized.

To not deter the usability of the script for end-users or for patching
single fonts of a collection we do NOT want to purge 'all old files'
because we can not know if they are really old or not.

[how]
For each directory that we process from the source fonts we check if all
font files therein match our search criterion (pattern, $2). If we are
going to patch _all_ files that are in that source directory we delete all
font files in the destination directory; expecting that all files will
be recreated.
If we do _not_ patch _all_ files, we can do nothing, because we can not
decide if the existing files originate from one of the
not-to-be-processed source font files or are zombies.

Fixes: #786
