Resolves #1434
This PR introduces a script that will delete all log files older than a given threshold age. We can run this via cron job, which would then prevent the build-up of tons of log files, especially in the archive_database_update directory.
@mfixstsci @BradleySappington I think this is ready for review. (The line that does the actual deletion is commented out at the moment in favor of a print statement saying what it would delete.)
I tested on my local machine, and the log files it said it would delete were correct.
