RFC: Add cron-based job scheduling to server

We could abstract node-schedule in our jobs API, and use it as indicated here by the author of pg-boss (https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/issues/94#issuecomment-430852430) to provide a cron-like repeated-job interface.

There are a lot of use cases for repeated/scheduled jobs, in addition to the capabilities that pg-boss gives us for delayed processing: https://github.com/node-schedule/node-schedule

Are people interested in that? I know that Hindawi has some use cases, but there will surely be others.

Anyone want to take on the implementation of it too? :) @bogdan, @sebastian?
