Earl Warren 238ecfdeb8 fix: garbage collect lingering actions logs (#10009)
If, for any reason (e.g. server crash), a task is recorded as done in the database but the logs are still in the database instead of being in storage, they need to be collected.

The log_in_storage field is only set to true after the logs have been transfered to storage and can be relied upon to reflect which tasks have lingering logs.

A cron job collects lingering logs every day, 3000 at a time, sleeping one second between them. In normal circumstances there will be only a few of them, even on a large instance, and there is no need to collect them as quickly as possible.

When there are a lot of them for some reason, garbage collection must happen at a rate that is not too hard on storage I/O.
