'''The singleCleaner class is a timer-driven thread that cleans data structures to free memory, resends messages when a remote node doesn't respond, and sends pong messages to keep connections alive if the network isn't busy.
It cleans these data structures in memory:
    inventory (moves data to the on-disk sql database)

It cleans these tables on the disk:
    inventory (clears data more than 2 days and 12 hours old)
    pubkeys (clears pubkeys older than 4 weeks old which we have not used personally)

It resends messages when there has been no response:
    resends getpubkey messages in 4 days (then 8 days, then 16 days, etc...)
    resends msg messages in 4 days (then 8 days, then 16 days, etc...)
