Set up garbage collector

[innovate-invent]

A garbage collector is needed to remove old users, their data, and analysis.
Most of the work has been done here:
https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/tree/dev/scripts/cleanup_datasets

Some tweaking is required and logic needs to be added to check the last login time of the user.
Users not logged in after 3 months are deleted.
Hidden datasets (workflow intermediate data) is deleted after 30 days.

@fionabrinkman Would it be appropriate to delete anything that is older than 3 months despite the last time a user logged in? or should active users be able to keep data indefinitely?

For now lets keep it as indefinite, but note on the website that depending on load data may not be kept on the site longer than 6 months. If there ends up being a lot of load we’d notify them of a change. OK? Cheers, Fiona
