Purge Old Variable Database Backups
Suggestion
Implement a new configurable core feature which purges old variables database backups after X days old.
Why?
Old backups are piled up after a long run overtime where beginners may have it unnoticed, and this system may come in handy to remove old backups as configured.

Agreement
- [X] I have read the guidelines above and affirm I am following them with this suggestion.
I think this be ultra nice because if you have a lot of auto restarts with a lot of variables you can rack up a huge file size pretty fast
I'm open to this, but I think it should be disabled by default.
This shouldn't be disabled by default. This should be set to 7 days or 14 days and the player can change it to however long they want it to be.
Even if the option is enabled by default, 7 or 14 days is consider short, and there are those people who are unaware of certain changes / features in Skript or any other plugins out there, which then I believe they will make their way to the generated files / configs to discover them, and in this topic we're talking about backups which may be crucial when the time comes.
You knew that they can change the duration of how long backups last, so I vouch for having this option disabled by default, then have users configure it.
