    Clean orphaned ifstate.veth* files on Ubuntu 14.04 (#3007)
    
    Ubuntu 14.04 has a well-known bug that leaves orphaned `ifstate.veth*` files in `/run/network` when creating / removing a virtual ethernet interface pair with `ip link add name veth1 type veth peer name veth2` and `ip link delete veth1`. Docker containers use these `veth` pairs: when a Docker container is created, Docker creates a pair and removes it when the container is removed. If a lot of containers are created, the file system where `/run/network` resides, runs out of inodes so t [...]
    
    Invokers running on Ubuntu 14.04 VMs can be affected by the described situation if a lot of cold invocations are run.
    
    Remove orphaned `ifstate.veth*` files older than 60 minutes in `/run/network` on Ubuntu 14.04 when cleaning an invoker host. The cleaning commands always have to be run as `root` because other users are not allowed to remove the files.
