fix(maintenance): sweep artist_metadata rows nothing references

artist_metadata was classified Cache/Swept but had no sweep and no
DELETE anywhere, so long-lived entity data (no TTL by design) grew for
the life of the install.  Sweep rows whose MBID is neither a library
artist nor holding cached artwork, and register the job with the
janitor.

Closes #248
