snapshot/scheduling: A cron based scheduler for snapshot scheduling

GlusterFS volume snapshot provides point-in-time copy
of a GlusterFS volume. Currently, GlusterFS volume
snapshots can be easily scheduled by setting up 
cron jobs on one of the nodes in the GlusterFS
trusted storage pool. This has a single point failure (SPOF),
as scheduled jobs can be missed if the node running the cron
jobs dies.

The solution to the above problems is addressed in this patch.
The snap_scheduler.py helper script expects the user to install
the argparse python module before using it.

Further details for the same are available at:
