 init: do not remove wrong mapset .tmp, rely on clean_temp (see #3635)


 The previous behavior was deleting whole mapset temporary directory
 of a mapset set at the startup. When started in mapset A, switched to B,
 exited, whole .tmp of A was removed, B was cleaned by clean_temp.
 Now cleaning of A is done during switching (as before) but it is not
 touched again, so no running processed in a (new) session in A are
 in denger of loosing temporary files. The mapset active at exit is
 cleaning using clean_temp as before, but only by that.
