[pve-devel] [PATCH manager] fix #3731: pvescheduler: Improve fork behaviour

[Filip Schauer]

Instead of forking every minute, check whether a job has to be run and
only fork if there is a pending job.

Backup jobs are registered in the jobs.cfg file, while replication jobs
are registered in the replication.cfg file. Integrating replication into
PVE::Jobs would move replication jobs into jobs.cfg, breaking backwards
compatibility.
