Feature description

It would be nice to be able to automatically cleanup artifactcache based on used cache size.

Currently here are the gc thresholds are statically implemented:
github.com/nektos/act@2be4def7be/pkg/artifactcache/handler.go (L442-L444)

Besides being able to configure them somehow to something different I would like to limit the size the cache is using.

It would be fine at least for me to implement this as an additional step in gcCache() so to have it cleaned up after an interval instead of enforcing it to a specific amount in the moment an additional cache entry is about to being added. This way it at least would help in resource planning.
