Expiring is done both in the Agent and in the backend now.  The agent
expiring isn't really efficient, but I hoped it wouldn't be too
noticable.  Splitting up gnus-agent-expire into smaller parts and
improving its efficiency would be good.

OTOH perhaps agent expiring simply shouldn't be performed when normal
expiring is performed?
