Description

Relates #253

• Added pg_cron extension
• Created a recurring cron job to remove items older than 6 months based on the created_at field

This PR does not resolve questions:

• what happens if an item has been available for more than 6 months but there are active conversations relating to this issue?
• should the donor receive a notification that their item will be deleted if it is not given away soon ?
  how would we notify them of this?

This is cool I knew that there was built in chron jobs in supabase but have only done them elsewhere. So onto the non-resolved questions I am curious if you have some solutions in mind. I thought about it for a bit and for messages we could make it also check that there are no messages related to the item sent in the last 3 months. As for notifying the users I think it might be easiest to just notify them it has been deleted and they can reupload if they really think someone would want it. we could just have them be emailed when it is deleted. I have not used the built into supabase chron jobs but when on other projects I have just put a route into the next api the sends emails when its triggered by the chron job and something like that could probably be done here
