Issue:
cmd/anubis: Add periodic DecayMap cleanup job
Should run once per hour to avoid memory over-runs.

Discussion:
@JasonLovesDoggo: can be closed now @Xe (should have linked my pr to this issue) @Xe: :+1:

 ## [Unreleased]
+- Added a periodic cleanup routine for the decaymap that removes expired entries, ensuring stale data is properly pruned.
 - Added a no-store Cache-Control header to the challenge page
-
 - Hide the directory listings for Anubis' internal static content
 - Changed `--debug-x-real-ip-default` to `--use-remote-address`, getting the IP address from the request's socket address instead.
 - DroneBL lookups have been disabled by default
