Purging S3 uploads

Cleaning up orphan and deleted uploads works similarly for both local and S3 storages. The only difference between the local storage and S3 storages is that the cleanup of the S3 uploads is automatically handled by S3 via a tombstone policy. See Managing your storage lifecycle for additional details about how this is handled on S3.
