Subject: [PATCH v15 2/4] Move removal of old serialized snapshots to
 custodian.

This was only done during checkpoints because it was a convenient
place to put it.  However, if there are many snapshots to remove,
it can significantly extend checkpoint time.  To avoid this, move
this work to the newly-introduced custodian process.
