This adds a new 'cache-clean-interval' option that cleans all qcow2 cache entries that haven't been used in a certain interval, given in seconds. This allows setting a large L2 cache size so it can handle scenarios with lots of I/O and at the same time use little memory during periods of inactivity. This feature currently relies on MADV_DONTNEED to free that memory, so it is not useful in systems that don't follow that behavior.
