This PR adds the abilities to clear queues. Right now, if a user has to clear the queue, the implementation would depend on the queue driver and there's no easy way to do so with the framework. This would be very helpful in development (e.g. clear the queue right before re-seeding DB/refreshing migrations to avoid DB mismatch) and may also be helpful in production (in specific emergency cases).
It has been suggested many times in packages such as Horizon (laravel/horizon#328) and also I can see a lot of StackOverflow questions asking how to clear the queue in Laravel. I think if the framework directly supports this in the various drivers, it would be easier for packages like Horizon to extend the capability to clear queues and also very easy/convenient for Laravel users.
