This PR solves the issue when a newly spawned worker receives a lot of old and expired revocations.
There is no reason to send old revocations that are already expired.
In bigger systems that rely on revocations and use a much larger
LimitedSet
this is a problem as the hello response may be hundreds of megabytes large. Receiving such a large message from other workers takes a lot of time and also stresses RabbitMQ (the broker we use). This is also a way to reclaim some memory back in case there are no longer active revocations.Let me know what do you think about it.
