What to build

Purging walks the two directories the casino made for itself and takes each one
that is empty, leaving one that still holds anything — a file it was never
entitled to remove. Stopping there is right. But the loop expresses "stop" by
ending the whole run, so a stray file in the data directory means the config
directory is never even looked at, however empty it is. Nothing chose that; it
is what using the loop for control flow adds up to.

Consider the two independently. One directory holding something that isn't ours
says nothing about the other.

Acceptance criteria

An empty config directory is taken even when the data directory is kept
A directory holding a file the casino did not write is still left alone,
and still says so
A directory that was never there still counts as already gone
CHANGELOG notes that purge no longer skips the config directory when the
data directory is kept
