Queue system

[samerton]

• Create new queue system which allows for tasks to be scheduled and run in the background (using AJAX or cron)

Forum post HTML seems fine after running the convert forum post task

Code looks great, what kind of additions to our documentation do you think we need?

• Cron file example
• Module task creation example
• ...

A few more thoughts (will add to this comment if more come up):

• How can modules define that a task should repeat, and on a specific schedule?
• It would probably be nice if we displayed somewhere "last cron task execution: xyz", so that people can easily see if their cron file config worked (i recall this being a pain point for the tebex module cron file)

The idea for now is that a task is responsible for rescheduling itself if needed, we could maybe look at changing this in the future depending on how we get on with the current system

Agreed RE cron, I'll create a follow-up PR showing when the queue was last run and also prepare to add something to the docs with an example cron
