This will add service alongside the base-backup service and timer that will use wal-e to delete the oldest base-backups after making new base-backups each sunday night. The number 5 is picked a bit at random, it doesn't seem we run out of disk that often. There might be a better way to trigger this than a timer, but I am not that experienced with systemd services.

This one needs to be rethunk I think, |

in other news, the disk on p2k16 was full again today. Manually cleaned out some backups, good for a while now. |

Fixed in a better way in #156, thanks though! |
