Description

## 🏗 Enhancement Proposal

When setting maxNrOfCacheObjects to 100 the cache can still grow above that size. This is caused by logic in the CacheObjectProvider in the getObjectsOverCapacity function.
```
where: '${CacheObject.columnTouched} < ?',
whereArgs: [
DateTime.now().subtract(const Duration(days: 1)).millisecondsSinceEpoch
],
```
From an this issue #349 I understand the reasoning behind this default value.
### Pitch

For app which are not used very intense I think the default makes sense. However for apps which use a lot of images and are used intensively throughout the day this results in a very big local cache. I've got reports of several GB.

I would argue that the there should be a parameter to override this in the Config object. This would be in line with for example the maxObjects and stalePeriod parameters.

Concretely:
- Add parameter to Config ObjectMinimumRetention (open for better naming)
- Type Duration
- Optional, default value 1 day
- Pass and use this parameter to the CacheObjectProvider
- Document

I'm happy to do a PR on this as you think this makes sense.
