Plugin APScheduler: Database backend

[mattrasband]

Auto post a message to a specific channel on a recurring schedule.

Use Case:

• Weekly "Who's Hiring" thread
• Weekly "Who's Looking" thread

APScheduler seems a good library to implement that

[mattrasband]

Yeah, I think that APScheduler is probably the best option - not sure the best way to integrate it with the bot framework. I guess we could pass in a scheduler instance to the plugin and they use that directly (or abstract it out and have a custom plugin type?)

I think it's best to make a custom plugin out of it, can of like the DB plugin so the core stay lighter.

Everyone might not need a scheduler and I don't really see a downside of doing it that way.

Still wondering if we need to have an optional database store for the job.

At the moment all jobs are recreated at startup so it's not needed but maybe it would be usefull
