[Binary Caching] Add cleanup feature of old/deprecated archives

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
vcpkg is awesome, it helps you to finally define your dependencies through a manifest, and manage them very easily through CMake. But there's a problem: when moving forward with your project, by simply updating your tooling or moving forward with your own manifest file, new cached archives will be produced and old ones will settle there, forever, unless manually deleted.

It would be nice if vcpkg had a way to cleanup those automatically, through a dedicated action in the command line.

Proposed solution
Upon building new cached archives for a given port, old ones are marked as "deprecated". vcpkg keeps track of this info somewhere and then through a command line tool you could cleanup those, using something like vcpkg cache clean.

An additional parameter --force might be introduced, which would cleanup ALL the cache, including cached archives which are not marked as deprecated.

Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment I'm deleting the folder in %localappdata%\vcpkg from time to time and rebuilding the entire ports from scratch, but it's far from optimal especially if you have ports which takes quite some time to be built ( ffmpeg for eg. )

Additional context
