We have the TODO item:

* Remove unused files during database vacuum or postmaster startup

The following patch places sort files in a separate directory (created
when first needed), and removes old sort files on postmaster startup.

The only unusual part is the use of system("find...rm...") to remove the
files in pg_sorttemp. Seemed cleaner than doing fancy directory
walking code in C.
