Add debug information to hopefully fix future problems

[PythonCoderAS]

As the title says, this should give some insight into how the directory looks on the test system. The script can also be run locally to make comparisons to find problems.

Thanks for the efforts here. I don't think adding such a script is necessary, because such issues are typically a one-off. I'd be more curious to know what changed resulting in the build-directory showing up.

@bboe Per #1456 , the build directory showed up due to pip's new way of handling pip install .[...].

Thanks for the response. I ended up reading that issue after reading through this PR. I think your solution to clean up makes sense. Adding some debugging tooling here, I think is handy for you to keep around if you need it, but I don't think we need to add such tooling to the project.

The point of this PR is for future proofing. It would be inconvenient to introduce this code when an issue occurs, and remove it after. The debug information is hidden anyways, so it's not obstructing actual log values.

I understand the value you feel this tool adds. I also know it was something you could probably recreate in under an hour if necessary. Little tools like this can clutter the project, and they offer little value most of the time.

I'll close this PR but add it to my .git/ignore so I can still use it locally.
