[feature] Lower remote media cache config duration (#2007)

The old default of 30d can lead to a lot of media getting cached and
significant disk usage, even on small or single person instances. A lot
of deployments decrease this value, to 15 or even less. This is less of
an issue when using object storage, but for local storage which is the
more popular deployment option running out of disk space is unpleasant.

With GoToSocial's aim to fit in small places, this changes the default
to a much more conservative 7 days. In all likelihood people aren't
scrolling that far back in their timeline so this change shouldn't
result in any issue. Existing deployments will only be affected by
this change if the admin hasn't already configured this value, or didn't
bootstrap from the example configuration.
