Add support for arbitrary number of shard spaces with set retention policies

[pauldix]

Currently we have short term and long term shards and data is assigned by what the first character is. We should change this so that assignment is set by database and a regex. Each shard space should have a data retention policy set as a duration. The database should automatically drop shards that are past the retention policy in any given shard space.

Hi, I just got back from vacations, is there any update on this ?
I checked the changelog for the versions released when I was away but the only thing indirectly related is the compaction fix on deletes which may allow me to finally delete my old data I have to check.

I'm working on this and a few other things this week. Hope to have it done
soon
