Dropbox has run out of space (again)

Same issue as #3986, basically.

Checking the allocated space on the dropbox API tester, yields:

{
  "used": 2684366459,
  "allocation": {
    ".tag": "individual",
    "allocated": 2684354560
  }
}

i.e., we’re using more space than we have been allocated

Didn’t I have a branch months ago that would distribute the deletion load to the players? Like everyone who creates a new MP runs a little snippet that deletes the oldest 10 files? [*]

Anyway, together with the “libre” discussion priority should be to create alternatives, so anybody who wants to can run their own backend. Classic WebDAV maybe, which one can easily buy from providers or serve from NextCloud?

[*] Kept it as patch in case anyone wants a read: Automatic_DropBox_cleanup_on_newgame1.patch.zip

“probably more libre than dropbox” 🤣 👍 (love the idea but honestly - all the overhead with commits and history wouldn’t really fit. And the rate limits as I remember for queries surely exist for commits, too, and will likely be just a tad too restrictive for fast games - queries was 10/minute afaik, and that’s not a sliding window but hard minute-length boxes)
