It's actually a bit worse than that. We can't delete the distfiles for
any port version that we are currently serving an archive for, because
of licenses like the GPL that require corresponding source to be available.

The easy solution is of course to delete all old archives and all old
distfiles at the same time.

A more involved solution would be:

1. Delete old archives
2. Delete distfiles_mirror.db on distfiles server
3. Run normal nightly distfiles mirror job
4. Extract the portfiles from all remaining non-current archives and run
port mirror on them on the distfiles server
5. Run portmirror on distfiles server (deleting unneeded distfiles)
