LOG4J2-524: autodelete older files while rollover
This pull request adds the possibility to configure a `maxAge` in days. The
original work is done by @arun0009.
If no `maxAge` is given, the `DefaultRolloverStrategy` works as before.
ATM I have some problems writing a test, because the timespan is at least
one day :smile: Hopefully I get some input to provide one.

> Feature request: auto-delete older rolled over files
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-524
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-524
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9, 2.0-rc1
> Reporter: Remko Popma
> Labels: Rollover
>
> This issue was raised by Kireet on the log4j-user mailing list:
> I am trying to use the rolling file appender in log4j2, basically I want to
> roll at midnight daily and keep 3 old log files. New files are created
> properly, but log4j doesn't seem to be cleaning up the old files. Does log4j
> only support cleanup of files within the time period? Here is the relevant
> portion of the config. I tried things with and without the %i pattern.
> {code}
> <RollingFile name="Event" fileName="app.log"
> filePattern="app-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.log">
> <PatternLayout>
> <Pattern>%m%n</Pattern>
> </PatternLayout>
> <Policies>
> <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy interval="1" modulate="true"/>
> </Policies>
> <DefaultRolloverStrategy compressionLevel="0" max="3"/>
> </RollingFile>
