        Depends on: 43546
  Target Milestone: ---

This is one of a set of bugs filed alongside bug 43546 (Standardize
command-line scripts on Getopt::Long::Descriptive) to convert individual,
commonly-used cron scripts to whatever declarative option-parsing convention
that bug settles on. Depends on 43546.

Current state: cleanup_database.pl uses plain Getopt::Long (GetOptions call
around line 198) with roughly 50 options. No single option is required; instead
the script requires at least one of a large set of purge-type flags to be set,
enforced by a long "unless ($sessions || $zebraqueue_days || ... )" condition
after parsing (around line 280).

What this bug covers: convert the GetOptions call to the new convention for
consistent declaration and auto-generated --help output. None of these options
map cleanly onto a simple per-option required constraint, since the actual
requirement is "at least one of roughly 50 flags", not any single mandatory
option -- that check should remain a manual post-parse validation, same as
today.

Given the option count, this is a larger and more involved conversion than the
others in this set. Suggest treating it as lower priority -- do it once the
convention is proven out on a smaller script first.

Test plan:
- --help output covers all documented options and matches current behavior
- Running with no purge flags still fails with the same "nothing to do" message
- Running with any single purge flag still behaves exactly as before
