Bug #18363: `make clean` should consistently handle generated files otherwise it can break the build.

Running make clean will cause ext/ripper/ripper.c to be regenerated but not parse.c and this causes problems if bison is incompatible with previous version, because ripper.c will be regenerated with a different version of bison.

nobu: Ah, yes, concatenating ripper.y and ripper.c to $cleanfiles, in ext/ripper/extconf.rb.

samuel: Can this solve the problem so make clean does not remove it?

nobu: I think so. eventids*.c also should be removed by distclean instead.
