feat(jobs): add queue delay resilience to scheduled job execution

Implement dedup key-based cron tracking to make scheduled jobs resilient to queue
delays. Even if a job is delayed by minutes, it will catch the missed cron window
by tracking previousRunDate in cache instead of relying on isDue() alone.

- Add dedupKey parameter to shouldRunNow() in ScheduledJobManager
  - When provided, uses getPreviousRunDate() + cache tracking for resilience
  - Falls back to isDue() for docker cleanups without dedup key
  - Prevents double-dispatch within same cron window

- Optimize ServerConnectionCheckJob dispatch
  - Skip SSH checks if Sentinel is healthy (enabled and live)
  - Reduces redundant checks when Sentinel heartbeat proves connectivity

- Remove hourly Sentinel update checks
  - Consolidate to daily CheckAndStartSentinelJob dispatch
  - Crash recovery handled by sentinelOutOfSync → ServerCheckJob flow

- Add logging for skipped database backups with context (backup_id, database_id, status)

- Refactor skip reason methods to accept server parameter, avoiding redundant queries

- Add comprehensive test suite for scheduling with various delay scenarios and timezones
