Use atime instead of mtime in thumbnail cleaner

Currently we expire thumbnails some amount of time after creation, even if the thumbnail is regularly accessed. This is probably not what we want to happen. Using atime instead fixes this behavior.

If the user is running on a file system with atime disabled, this is still no worse than using mtime.
