Implement a method to delete messages older than given time in scrollback history.
The maximum age of messages is controlled by /set scrollback_max_age variable.
E.g. /set scrollback_max_age 7days
Rationale: I created this patch to let my client forget messages in a private chat that I don't want to keep around. In practice, "day changed" messages force an effective event to delete old messages when no new messages have been sent to a chat.
