nixos/tomcat: add purifyOnStart option

With this option enabled, before creating file/directories/symlinks in baseDir
according to configuration, old occurences of them are removed.

This prevents remainders of an old configuration (libraries, webapps, you name
it) from persisting after activating a new configuration.

On startup, the `baseDir` directory is populated with various files,
subdirectories and symlinks. If this option is enabled, these items
(except for the `logs` and `work` subdirectories) are first removed.
This prevents interference from remainders of an old configuration
(libraries, webapps, etc.), so it's recommended to enable this option.
