substitute: Delete cached narinfos more than two-month old.

This allows 'guix substitute' to shrink the cache a bit more, which
saves space and improves performance of cache-cleanup phases since fewer
entries need to be traversed.

* guix/scripts/substitute.scm (cached-narinfo-expiration-time): Define
'max-ttl' and use it as an upper bound.
