Description

Problem overview

Currently, if we decrease the --state-rewind-duration argument, it keeps the old rewind information in the database.

Definition of done

The code should clean up the old rewind information outside the current state rewind window.

Implementation details

Can be tricky to solve it before solving https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuel-core/issues/2095.

Research direction
Investigate the implementation of ` state rewind duration` and related database operations. The issue depends on #2095, so first understand that prerequisite. Look at the database schema and code that handles state rewind data, possibly in storage or service layers. Identify where old rewind data persists and design a cleanup routine that removes entries outside the current rewind window.
