This PR adds support for the H (hash) symbol in the minute and hour fields of cron schedules, following the same approach used by Jenkins.
Motivation
When multiple jobs share the same schedule (for example, "0 * * * *"), they all run at the same time. If those jobs are computationally heavy, this can cause noticeable CPU usage spikes.
The H symbol addresses this by allowing the scheduler to choose a stable, deterministic "random" time for each job, spreading execution more evenly over time without requiring manual offsets.
How it works
Additional notes
I'm open to feedback and suggestions on the implementation details.
