./gradlew clean removes stale SaaS build artifacts (#7434)
### Motivation
- `./gradlew clean` on the default/proprietary flavor did not remove
`app/saas/build` left behind by earlier SaaS builds, causing stale
artifacts to persist across flavors.
### Description
- Add a `clean` hook in `build.gradle` that deletes `app/saas/build`
(`tasks.named('clean') { delete
layout.projectDirectory.dir('app/saas/build') }`) so the root `clean`
always removes SaaS artifacts even when `:saas` is not included.
### Testing
- Created `app/saas/build/clean-regression-marker`, ran `./gradlew
clean`, and verified the `app/saas/build` directory was deleted
(success).
- Ran `./gradlew spotlessCheck test`; Spotless checks passed but the
full test run reported environment-dependent unit test failures
unrelated to this change (8 failures), and `task backend:check` could
not be executed because the `task` CLI is not available in the
environment.
