Add support for expiring files
SUPPLEMENTALLY: - Add an `expiration` field to the `file` table of the database - Produce a migration for the above change - Overhaul the cleanup script, and integrate into fhost.py (now run using FLASK_APP=fhost flask prune) - Replace the old cleanup script with a deprecation notice - Add information about how to expire files to the index - Update the README with information about the new script Squashed commits: Add a note explaining that expired files aren't immediately removed Show correct times on the index page graph Improve the migration script, removing the need for --legacy Use automap in place of an explicit file map in migration Remove vestigial `touch()` Don't crash when upgrading a fresh database Remove vestigial warning about legacy files More efficiently filter to unexpired files when migrating https://git.0x0.st/mia/0x0/pulls/72#issuecomment-224 Coalesce updates to the database during migration https://git.0x0.st/mia/0x0/pulls/72#issuecomment-226 Remove vestigial database model https://git.0x0.st/mia/0x0/pulls/72#issuecomment-261 prune: Stream expired files from the database (as opposed to collecting them all first) config.example.py: Add min & max expiration + description
