Okay, turns out there were tests, but the bit that tests pruning was
commented out :)

This is the first in a (gradual) series of patches. It does very little
except:

1. Adjust `registry-prune' to do what the docstring says: return the
total number of entries pruned

2. Uncomment the pruning test and adjust it so it correctly catches the
number of pruned entries.

Test should fail. Over the next couple of days I'll add another test to
check that entries are sorted correctly before pruning, and then take a
stab at fixing the pruning itself.
