refactor: 30-day defaults, time-based message expiry

- Change QUEUE_MAX_AGE default from 48h to 30 days (2592000s)
- Replace count-based MAX_HISTORY with time-based MESSAGE_MAX_AGE
  (default 30 days) — messages older than the configured age are
  pruned instead of keeping a fixed count per target
- Update README to reflect new defaults and time-based expiry
