Public bug reported:

Nova.conf has the following options for image cache ageing
remove_unused_base_images
remove_unused_original_minimum_age_seconds.

If these conf values are enabled, older un-used images cached on the hypervisor hosts will be deleted by nova-compute.
The driver should implement the defn manage_image_cache
and this will be called by compute.manager._run_image_cache_manager_pass().

The HyperV driver does not implement manage_image_cache() which means
older unused images (VHD/VHDFx) will never get deleted and occupy
storage on the HyperV host, which otherwise can be used to spawn
instances.
