Remove expired negative cache rows in the eviction loop (closes #244)

A negative cache row was deleted only when its source URL was requested
again after it expired, and CleanExpired was never called, so a client
asking for a new missing path each time grew the database without
limit. The eviction goroutine now calls CleanExpired at startup and on
every periodic tick, so a row stays at most NegativeTTL plus one
interval. The goroutine also starts with the disk cache disabled, where
reconciliation and eviction already do nothing, since the negative
cache is used either way.

- 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. It runs with the disk cache disabled
(`cache_max_bytes: 0`) too, where it does nothing else, as the negative cache
is used either way.
