Description
Could a retention-days key be added to this repository similar to what https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact has. This could allow the cache to, essentially, be cleaned up more frequently. This would have two benefits:
- Clients would have a less full
https://github.com/OWNER/REPOSITOY/actions/cachespage in certain situations. - GitHub could reduce their data storage requirements.

Research direction
Start by comparing the requested retention-days behavior in actions/cache with the existing option in actions/upload-artifact. Then locate the cache configuration and cleanup entry points and any related tests; done means the key is accepted and cache entries can be cleaned up more frequently as requested.
