staging.bbclass: Ensure the task starts from a clean directory

I found that some files were not getting removed from the sysroot, despite them
clearly being removed by the recipe. I found SYSROOT_DESTDIR is only ever copied
into, not cleaned. This patch ensures its empty when the task starts so that
stale files are removed and not persisted.
