[Feature Request] Prune Google Drive Backups before Uploading New

What feature do you want to see added?
Problem
Google Drive offers 15GB of free storage. Let's say my overworld world size is between 8-14 GBs, and I want DriveBackupV2 to use Google Drive. This means I can't have more than one backup on the drive at any given point.
The real problem, however, is with the fact that I have to delete every backup if I want the next one to work. If not, the Google Drive API will see that there's not enough storage to upload the next backup, and as a result will not succeed.
Using keep-limit: 1
in config does not solve this problem, as the plugin still attempts to upload to new backup BEFORE pruning old backups according to the keep-limit
value.
Potential Solution
Modify .../drivebackup/uploaders/googledrive/GoogleDriveUploader.java
to prune backups according to keep-limit
value BEFORE uploading the next backup. That way, if the world takes 8GB of space, and I only have 15GB of Google Drive storage, using keep-limit: 1
means the plugin will delete my old backup, then the next backup can still be uploaded to my drive.
Concerns
It is possible that the pruning succeeds but uploading the next backup fails, for one reason or another. But then again, any part of the backup could fail at any point, for any reason – but we can still rely on the plugin's exception handling.
Are there any alternatives?
