operation handle expired #949

I just ran an important deep-check-and-repair, and when I came back to see what had happened I got "unknown/expired handle". This information is gone for good -- since the repair part repaired the files now there is now way for me to tell what their state was before the repair, which was information that I very much wanted to know.

I propose that operation handles be infinite duration by default, and people who want to save a few KB of virtual memory at the cost of risking losing information can configure their node to expire operation handles.
