Research direction

Start by inspecting the implementation behind ./gradlew clean and how the targets key specifies Cargo targets. Run the clean task on a project with configured Rust targets; done when the corresponding Cargo target directories are removed. The issue links a clone filed in the wrong project, so confirm the work still belongs here.

Description

When I run ./gradlew clean on my project, it seems like it doesn't clean the Rust project. It would be nice if that were the case, gradlew clean should clean the cargo targets specified with the targets key.

This issue is a clone of https://github.com/ncalexan/rust-android-gradle/issues/38, which I filed into the wrong project.
