Expurge long tail content from the cache to keep the number of bans below this value. 0 disables. This is a safety net to avoid bad response times due to bans being tested at lookup time. Setting a cutoff trades response time for cache efficiency. The recommended value is proportional to rate(bans_lurker_tests_tested) / n_objects while the ban lurker is working, which is the number of bans the system can sustain. The additional latency due to request ban testing is in the order of ban_cutoff / rate(bans_lurker_tests_tested). For example, for rate(bans_lurker_tests_tested) = 2M/s and a tolerable latency of 100ms, a good value for ban_cutoff may be 200K. Merges #2131
