This is an alternative solution for 7864985. Purging by mtime ensures we only purge logs that haven't been written to in a while. When purging by ctime (existing behavior) we can purge a log that was created a long time ago but is still being written to today (e.g., due to low log volume).
There is also a bugfix for the existing test. Not sure it happens in real life but it affected the test.
