1901526 - Add a backup scheduling mechanism

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Profile Backup, task, P3)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

This mechanism will be pretty simple to start with, and is modelled after the PlacesBackup bookmarks backup mechanism:

1. Not long after startup, scan the snapshots (bug 1901523) folder, and find the most recent backup. Cache the backup date in #_state.
2. After (1), set up an idle observer.
3. For each idle, if browser.backup.scheduled.enabled is true, check if the current timestamp between the last backup and the current time is greater than 1 hour (this difference should be contained in a preference / FeaturesManifest.yaml so we can tweak it). If so, start a backup. Once the backup is done, update the most recent backup timestamp in #_state.
