contrib: a small script to nudge lingering diff

contrib: a small script to nudge lingering diff

After a discussion on IRC with various reviewers. It seems like a good idea to
have some automatic cleanup of old, inactive diffs.

Here is a small script able to do so. I am preparing to unleash it on our
phabricator instance.
