advancedsettings.xml setting cleanonupdate no longer works

Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

In the latest Kodi 20 nightlies/alpha the "cleanonupdate" setting in advancedsettings.xml no longer works.

Normally when this setting is set to "true" and the option "Update library on startup" is enabled in Kodi, a library cleanup would run after the scan for new items was finished. This was visible through a notification with a progress circle showing the cleanup process running from 0 to 100 percent.

Note: I used season 1 of the show "The Plot Against America" for testing.

Expected Behavior

Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:

After scanning for new items, a library cleanup should be run automatically and shown on screen in a progress notification. This used to work in previous versions of Kodi.

Actual Behavior

A library cleanup is not run despite the cleanonupdate option in advancedsettings.xml being set to "true".

Possible Fix

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a new TV show / episode to a source location (f.e. an SMB share)
2. Let it be scanned into the library
3. Remove the TV show / episode from the source location
4. Restart Kodi
5. A library scan + cleanup should occur, but only the scan runs and not the cleanup.
