Depending on the system, different schedulers can be used to schedule

`git maintenance run` now has an option to let the end-user explicitly
choose which scheduler he wants to use:
`--scheduler=auto|crontab|launchctl|schtasks`.
When `git maintenance start --scheduler=XXX` is run, it not only
registers `git maintenance run` tasks in the scheduler XXX, it also
removes the `git maintenance run` tasks from all the other schedulers to
ensure we cannot have two schedulers launching concurrent identical
tasks.
The default value is `auto` which chooses a suitable scheduler for the
system.
Until this point, we haven't supported systemd timers yet, but in the next
patch we add support for it. So the patch description looks OK.
