since the jobs are configured clusterwide in pmxcfs, a user can use any
node to update the config of them. for some configs (schedule/enabled)
we need to update the last runtime in the state file, but this
is sadly only node-local.
to also update the state file on the other nodes, we introduce
a new 'update_job_props' function that saves relevant properties from
the config to the statefile each round of the scheduler if they changed.
this way, we can detect changes in those and update the last runtime too.
the only situation where that would not be enough is when a user
changes schedules and back to the original one within a single minute
(so between scheduler runs). in that case, the other nodes won't
detect that change, but it seems to be a rather unlikely edge case
that we can ignore.
if we really want to solve that too, we'd have to save the 'updated'
timestamp in the config too, just to sync it to the job state file
later.
in 'synchronize_job_states_with_config' we switch from reading the
jobstate unconditionally to check the existing of the statefile
(which is the only condition where that can return undef anyway)
so that we don't read the file multiple times each round.

In the subject, I wouldn't call the nodes "unrelated". How about "after
updating job from a different node"?

Even with that edge case, there's no effect on when the job actually
runs, or? Just the 'updated' time stamp in the job state will not be
correct (from a global perspective) on the other nodes until the job
runs again.

What about starting_job and started_job? The saved_props are lost when
that function writes its new state. Maybe there should be a wrapper for
updating the job state that always preserves certain properties.

Maybe move update_job_props to right below here, so the comment
describing the use is closer? Or maybe something like
runtime_updating_props is more descriptive?

The caller in PVE/API2/Backup.pm could also be adapted to this change.
Although I suppose any new job will be caught by
synchronize_job_states_with_config, like on nodes different from the one
on which it was created.

update_saved_props or detect_changed_runtime_props might be a bit more
telling

the more i think about it, the more i think you're right
for some reason i thought that no updating the timestamp in
this scenario might mean that it can run instantly, but that
can only happen when the last runtime is older than it should be.
(e.g. even when the node is offline/pvescheduler is not running,
we'll (by default) update the timestamp on the first iteration)
so yes, i think we can safely ignore that edge case then

i guess you're right, but currently that makes no difference since
we're only concerned with not running too early which is irrelevant
for the starting/started case
(and it'll be synced up again after the next iteration)

Hmm, it won't work for (at least) a minutely job. The job will run, the
state will lose the saved_props and then
synchronize_job_states_with_config will update the last runtime in the
next run_jobs, and the job won't run that iteration.

While the logic for updating the last run time in PVE/API2/Backup.pm's
update_job call is slightly different (won't update when going from
enabled to disabled), I feel like we could switch to (unconditionally)
calling update_job_props there too?
