synced-cron should store scheduled events

[Szayet]

Scheduled, event's should be saved (for cases when the server restarts, like hot-code pushes).

Upon SynchedCron.start() they should 're-schedule' automaticly.

+1, I'm new to meteor and I thought I was doing something wrong until I discovered this issue.

Currently, I'm getting around this by creating a function to run the task and a Mongo collection to store events and reschedule them like so:

Meteor.startup(() => {
  // code to run on server at startup
  savedTasks.find({}).forEach((task) => {
    SyncedCron.add({
      name: [task.name, 'for', task.user_id].join(' '),
      schedule: function(parser) {
        return parser.text(task.schedule);
      },
      job: function() {
        return Meteor.call(task.name, { user_id: task.user_id });
      }
    });
  });
  SyncedCron.start();
});

+1, this is a pretty big issue.

@JKirchartz great solution, I wonder how we could make that work as a built-in feature...
