autoclean: clean network events (30 days by default).

We also document this in the listnetworkevents command itself.

The test_autoclean_once was getting repetitive, so I cleaned that
up too.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new automatic cleanup feature to the Core Lightning 'autoclean' plugin. By default, network event logs (connections, disconnections, pings) older than 30 days will now be deleted automatically. Users can change or disable this with a new configuration option. There is no indication this is a security fix; it is a routine data-retention and housekeeping feature.

Recommended action

No security action required. Operators may review the new default 30-day retention for network events and adjust autoclean-networkevents-age if longer retention is needed for debugging or compliance.
