librelad 4ce0340ef8 refactor(backup): replace per-app cron stagger with task-queue scheduler
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.
