Add airflow db clean-all-expired-sessions ? command

[potiuk]

Body

With #33347 we already can cleanup session table with the same mechanism we have for all tables where --clean-before-timestamp == expiry. This is consistent with other tables, but 'session` table might have a dedicated command that will clean all the already expired sessions.

Hi @SeethalakshmiB, unfortunately, I've not been able to get started on this - too much going on. However, you can clear this out manually provided you have access to the metadata database. I assume that you are using the default session lifetime configuration of 30 days.

If that's the case, simply back up your session table and run (postgres syntax):

DELETE FROM session
WHERE expiry < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days';

And of course, remember to run a VACUUM.
