[Xymon] Housekeeping on /xymon/data/hostdata

Hi Neil,

take a look at the trimhistory command delivered with XYmon.
I use it here to delete the history data older than a year.
In addition I also have a script similar to the one on XYmonton that
deletes the RRD files for hosts or tests that get no longer updated.
