On installs migrated from EasyDocker the spool file
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/<user> can be left owned by a defunct UID. The
sticky bit on the spool directory then blocks the current install user from
replacing it, so every `crontab -` write failed with
"rename: Operation not permitted" while the scripts still printed success.
crontabClear now removes the crontab as root (`crontab -u <user> -r`), which
bypasses the sticky bit and clears the stale file; the setup steps recreate
it owned by the install user, so the next crontab refresh self-heals.

Application backups were driven by one crontab entry per app, each offset by
id * CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL minutes. That minute offset is written
straight into cron's 0-59 minute field, so past ~20 apps it overflowed into
an invalid entry that silently never fired, and the fixed spacing could not
serialize backups that ran longer than the gap.
Replace it with a single daily entry (`libreportal backup scheduled`) that
enqueues a backup task per enabled app. The existing systemd task processor
drains them serially — no minute overflow, real serialization, and backups
are now visible/cancellable in the Tasks UI. Per-app enable is read from
CFG_<APP>_BACKUP at schedule time instead of being mirrored into crontab.
Removes the stagger machinery (timing/setup/check/remove scripts), the
now-unused cron_jobs table + insert, and the CFG_BACKUP_CRONTAB_APP_INTERVAL
config knob and its WebUI field.
