Fix HF Spaces storage limit (50GB) error

Storage optimizations:
- Add cleanup_storage.py to remove old model caches on startup
- Run cleanup automatically in app_hf.py
- Add .spacesignore to prevent uploading local data/models
- Enable HF transfer for faster model downloads
- Keep only 2 most recent model versions in cache

This should reduce storage from 50GB+ to under 10GB
