This reduces source size from 50MiB tar (33MiB tar.gz) to 18MiB tar (12MiB tar.gz). The planned strategy is to purge nightly and beta versions ealier than {current_year - 1}-01-01. That means only the recent 1-2 years of nightly/beta history is kept.
UPDATE: There is some statistics available (mentioned by zulip) about traffic from different cargo versions available. We can estimate the usage of nighly version older than 1yr ago to be ~0.15%. I think it's safe to purge nightly versions older than that. A script analyzing the JSON response in that data page is added as scripts/cargo_stat_analysis.py.
Fixes #160
