Proposed Changes

This PR adds the ability for the RKE2 executable to clean up unused data directory folders. As RKE2 clusters are upgraded, the data directory keeps old artifacts of its previous versions. As described within the issue discussion, when a cluster is upgraded, containers running within the cluster may still reference the old artifacts from previous versions. This will happen until the rke2 service is restart or the machine is rebooted. I implemented it in a way even if the service fails to clean up the data directory the RKE2 cluster will continue with its startup process.

Further Comments

For this feature, I tried to use https://github.com/mitchellh/go-ps/tree/master to identify what folders need to be deleted in the data directory; however, referencing the executables did not show the same output as traversing proc directory and retrieving the symlinks for the exe file for each process folder. Additionally, I did not implement how this would work on the windows version of RKE2.
