Manage space allocated to filebucket

File backup is a helpful feature that by default is currently turned on in Puppet. (Note: that it can be manually configured to be turned off, via

File { backup => false }

However, as the resource is not actively managed, over time, the filebucket directory eventually fills up and can eat up all the allocated disk space.

As a Puppet user, I would like for the filebucket resource to be shipped with some "sane" defaults (e.g. 30 days or 500 MB) that could be further modified based on need. These settings should be easily overridable to configure the amount of data either by number of days or maximum size allocated to the Puppet filebucket.

As a Puppet user managing a large amount of resources and machines, I also know that when there are lots of files being managed and backed up to filebucket so the management method should be performant for large numbers of files/directories.
