Remove expired negative cache rows in the eviction loop (closes #244)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

A negative cache row was deleted only when its URL was requested
again, so a client asking for a new missing path each time grew the
database without limit. The eviction goroutine now removes expired rows
at startup and on every tick, so a row stays about NegativeTTL plus one
eviction interval. It deletes at most 1000 rows per statement, so a
request on the one database connection waits behind one batch at most.
The goroutine now also runs when the disk cache is disabled, since the
negative cache is used either way.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-15 expired negative cache rows are removed on a schedule (closes
#244): the row of a failed fetch, which makes pixa answer 502 for that source
URL for 5 minutes, was deleted only when the same URL was requested again
after that, so a client asking for a new missing path each time added rows
that stayed for good. The eviction goroutine now calls `CleanExpired` at
startup and on each periodic tick, every 5 minutes in pixad, so a row stays at
most about 10 minutes. `CleanExpired` deletes at most 1000 rows per statement,
so a request waits behind 1000 deletions at most, however many rows have
expired. The goroutine runs with the disk cache disabled
(`cache_max_bytes: 0`) too, where it does nothing else, as the negative cache
is used either way.
- 2026-10-15 a cached variant is served while its source URL is in the negative
cache (closes #245): `Get` checked the negative cache before the variant
cache, so once a fetch of the source failed, as one does when another variant
