There is currently a bug where, on a "watch" rebuild, sometimes an image that's referenced from a CSS file won't be "noticed" and will be mistakenly deleted.

Reproducer: https://github.com/weaverryan/clean_webpack_assets_watch_bug
I haven't had time yet to "distill" that reproducer down to a raw
webpack.config.jsfile (without Encore) so that I can submit an issue. But, since this behavior can be quite damaging (I was pulling out my hair trying to figure out why an image file was there sometimes and gone other times) and because thecleanStaleWebpackAssetsis so minor (it removes extra files onwatchrebuilds), I think we should just disable it by default.
