`brew cleanup` cleans up the download-cache
Manpage updated.
The -s switch is "scrub" and removes downloads for uninstall formula which are downloads for the latest version of that formula still.
Please NOTE cache is NOT cleaned if a formula argument is provided. I couldn't be bothered. Patches welcome :)
Closes Homebrew/homebrew#2923.
