Commit Message: LOC-6 Initial (and very rough) periodic message clearance

At server startup we spin up a seperate scheduler thread, which places a request to the main app every 60 seconds, in order to purge any messages older than the threshold in the system.

It's currently very, very rough, but seems to work.

There's still a bit to be done here though

- Need to validate the submitted password
- Need to actually generate a password rather than using the temporarily hardcoded 1234

And probably quite a lot else too

Commit Message: LOC-6 Use autogenerated password for scheduler requests

At startup we generate a 64 char password for the scheduler to identify itself with.

Also, move the scheduler thread launch to within the app processing thread. We do this because otherwise we end up with two scheduler threads (because of the way Flask handles launching the 'main' thread). Also means it'll refresh if the processing thread is changed for some reason.

Commit Message: LOC-6 Switch to shorter values and insert print for testing

Configures to run the scheduler every minute and expire messages after a minute.

Created a room, joined it, posted some messages and then left.

Scheduler dumped the following to stdout

As the auto-purge is an important function, should probably make the period configurable so that we can write automated tests to verify the behaviour.
