Stale image caches in git worktrees are now cleaned up during retention sweeps

What

Claude Code's periodic cleanup process now scans each session's git-worktree cache folders for old images subfolders and removes any older than a cutoff age. This replaces older, more generic placeholder cleanup logic, and the results (what was removed, and any errors) now show up in the same summary as the existing history and session cleanup.

Why

This keeps cached images from git worktrees from accumulating and taking up disk space indefinitely.
