Node deprecation handling feature request

[Fizz11]

Pain Point? Please describe.
Scale currently keeps a permanent record of all nodes ever connected. this can result in a new node using an old IP address coming in and inheriting the old nodes status, such as being depreciated.

Desired Solution
Scale should either create a better way of identifying nodes, or permanently delete nodes after they have been offline for a certain amount of time.

Alternative / Workaround
currently we can be extra vigilant about this happening and adjust node settings if this happens.

Or rename nodes when deprecated to a uuid that will never conflict again. Can we do that?
