Description
Currently, snapshot keep-horizon is statically set within commonVars.env file's DEFRETAIN variable. Script should be updated to use this value as a default but allow run-time selection to override it. This would enable allowing different keep-horizon enforcement's for different consistency groups.

Research direction
Read MaintSnaps.sh and commonVars.env, starting with how DEFRETAIN is read and how the script accepts arguments. Run the utility in its existing form to establish the default behavior; done means the configured DEFRETAIN remains the default while a runtime value can select a different keep-horizon.
