No objections from here to make that optional.  It's been argued for a
couple of times that leaving the archive history files is good for
debugging, but I can also get why one would one to clean up all the
files older than a WAL retention policy.  Even if these are just few
bytes, it can be noisy for the eye to see a large accumulation of
history files mixed with the WAL segments.
