Clear Buildpack Cache

Clear Buildpack Cache
Clear the buildpack cache

This endpoint will delete all of the existing buildpack caches in the blobstore. The buildpack cache is used during staging by buildpacks as a way to cache certain resources, e.g. downloaded Ruby gems. An admin who wants to decrease the size of their blobstore could use this endpoint to delete unnecessary blobs.
