truncate WAL files on exit

Fix for https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10300

https://github.com/lix-project/lix/commit/18a26202737a74f216d285d92bd4a84761788026  enabled persistent WAL files that will never get truncated. to fix this, journal_size_limit is set to 2^40, which results in the WAL files being truncated to 0 on exit, as well as limiting the WAL files to 2^40 bytes following a checkpoint.

this aligns lix with the nix change: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10301
