Description
See https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6-dev/2017-05-19#i_14607655 for example of the problem. We could probably just delete any builds where the creation date of the folder is older than the max TOTAL-TIME allowed for any of the bots to run. Do it here (https://github.com/perl6/whateverable/blob/master/Whateverable.pm6#L168-L176) maybe?

Research direction
Start in Whateverable.pm6 around lines 168-176 and read how temporary Rakudo build folders are currently handled. Check how TOTAL-TIME is defined for the bots, then implement cleanup based on folder creation age and verify that builds older than the maximum allowed timeout are removed.
