[FAB-5665] Cleanup of old CouchDB document revisions

Fabric does not utilize couchdb document replication or old document revisions. As such, the number of revisions that couchdb maintains should be reduced. This can be done by activating the compaction daemon with a generic rule in the local.ini to cover all databases.
