Delete old packages

Github action for deleting old versions of packages in the Github package registry.

This is very similar to actions/delete-package-versions but targets a different use case.

The action works by getting at most 20 packages with at most the oldest 100 versions, applying either the version or version-pattern and keep filters on them and then deleting the matching versions.

If you have more than 100 versions and none of the 100 oldest versions match, no packages will be deleted!
