Pruning can go on for a long time; give admins some insight into that
something is happening to make it less frustrating and to make it easier
which part of the process is stalled should this happen.
Again most of the changes are merely reindents;
review with whitespace changes hidden recommended.
May sometimes be helpful to get more predictable runtime
than just with an age-based limit.
The subquery for the non-keep-threads path is required
since delte_all does not directly accept limit().
Again most of the diff is just adjusting indentation, best
hide whitespace-only changes with git diff -w or similar.
This gives feedback when to stop rerunning limited batches.
Most of the diff is just adjusting indentation; best reviewed
with whitespace-only changes hidden, e.g. `git diff -w`.
This part of pruning can be very expensive and bog down the whole
instance to an unusable sate for a long time. It can thus be desireable
to split it from prune_objects and run it on its own in smaller limited batches.
If the batches are smaller enough and spaced out a bit, it may even be possible
to avoid any downtime. If not, the limit can still help to at least make the
downtime duration somewhat more predictable.

When doing prune_objects, it's possible that bookmarked objects are deleted.
This gave problems when fetching the bookmark TL.
Here we clean up the bookmarks during pruning in the case were it's possible that bookmarked objects are deleted.
E.g. Flag activities have an array of objects
We prune the activity when NONE of the objects can be found
Note that the cost of finding and deleting these is ~4x higher than finding and deleting the non-array ones
Only string:
Delete on activities (cost=506573.48..506580.38 rows=0 width=0)
Only Array:
Delete on activities (cost=3570359.68..4276365.34 rows=0 width=0)
(They are still executed separately, so the total cost is the sum of the two)
We add an option to also prune remote activities who don't have existing objects any more they reference.
Rn, we only check for activities who only reference one object, not an array or embeded object.
This adds an option to the prune_objects mix task.
The original way deleted all non-local public posts older than a certain time frame.
Here we add a different query which you can call using the option --keep-threads.
We query from the activities table all context id's where
1. the newest activity with this context is still old
2. none of the activities with this context is is local
3. none of the activities with this context is bookmarked
and delete all objects with these contexts.
The idea is that posts with local activities (posts, replies, likes, repeats...) may be interesting to keep.
Besides that, a post lives in a certain context (the thread), so we keep the whole thread as well.
Caveats:
* ~~Quotes have a different context. Therefore, when someone quotes a post, it's possible the quoted post will still be deleted.~~ fixed in #379
* Although undocumented (in docs/docs/administration/CLI_tasks/database.md/#prune-old-remote-posts-from-the-database), the 'normal' delete action still kept old remote non-public posts. I added an option to keep this behaviour, but this also means that you now have to explicitly provide that option. **This could be considered a breaking change!**
* ~~Note that this removes from the objects table, but not from the activities.~~ See #427 for that.
Some statistics from explain analyse:

**TODO**
1. [x] **Question:** Is it OK to keep it like this in regard to quote posts? If not (ie post quoted by local users should also be kept), should we give quotes the same context as the post they are quoting? (If we don't want to give them the same context, I'll have to see how/if I can do it without being too costly)
* See #379
2. [x] **Question:** the "original" query only deletes public posts (this is undocumented, but you can check the code). This new one doesn't care for scope. From the docs I get that the idea is that posts can be refetched when needed. But I have from a trusted source that Pleroma can't refetch non-public posts. I assume that's the reason why they are kept here. I see different options to deal with this
1. ~~We keep it as currently implemented and just don't care about scope with this option~~
2. ~~We add logic to not delete non-public posts either (I'll have to see how costly that becomes)~~
3. We add an extra --keep-non-public parameter. This is technically speaking breakage (you didn't have to provide a param before for this, now you do), but I'm inclined to not care much because it wasn't documented nor tested in the first place.
3. [x] See if we can do the query using Elixir
4. [x] Test on a bigger DB to see that we don't run into a timeout
5. [x] Add docs
