Two related backup-management fixes.
Retention (records/days to keep):
- The retention fieldset was defined in profile.xml but never rendered
in the profile editor, so retention_days/retention_count were invisible.
Render the retention fieldset on the Archive tab.
- retention_days/retention_count were read by nothing, so they pruned no
backups. Add RetentionManager::prune(), called from completeRecord() in
both BackupEngine and SteppedBackupEngine after a backup finishes.
Policy: delete a completed/warning backup when EITHER it is older than
retention_days OR it falls outside the newest retention_count copies
(0 = unlimited for that rule). Deleting a record also removes its
archive and log file.
- Correct misleading language/schema text ("use global default" — no such
global backup-retention setting exists) to "0 = unlimited".
Purge Old Backups button:
- The modal only opened via a fragile selector match on the toolbar
button's inline onclick, which Joomla 6's Atum toolbar does not render,
so the button did nothing. Wrap Joomla.submitbutton to open the modal
for the backups.purgeModal task, keeping the selector as a fallback.
