Add a change cleanup job that runs periodically in the background. This cleanup job can automatically abandon open changes that have been inactive for a defined time. Abandoning old inactive changes has a few advantages: - it reduces the load for recomputing the mergeability flag when a change is merged - it keeps dashboards clean - it signals change authors that changes are considered outdated Change-Id: Ia798667901fe8d734ca29bcf81c7b9b4a1eb4c50 Signed-off-by: Edwin Kempin <edwin.kempin@sap.com>

== Auto-Abandon
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This cleanup job automatically abandons open changes that have been
 | 
						|
inactive for a defined time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Abandoning old inactive changes has the following advantages:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* it signals change authors that changes are considered outdated
 | 
						|
* it keeps dashboards clean
 | 
						|
* it reduces the load on the server (for open changes the mergeability
 | 
						|
  flag is recomputed whenever a change is merged)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If a change is still wanted it can be restored by clicking on the
 | 
						|
`Restore` button.
