Cron triggers can't be disabled even if they are not used

[Renat Akhmerov]

In many installations cron triggers are not used at all but the subsystem starts anyway and consumes resources. We need to have a config option to disable it.

    Add a config option to disable cron triggers

    * Cron triggers (implemented in periodic.py) are always enabled
      although in many installations they are not needed. When they
      are enabled they consume resoruces (keep polling DB etc.).
      This patch add the config option "enabled" under "cron_trigger"
      group that can be used to disable the entire subsystem.
    * Wiped out "disable_cron_trigger_thread" pecan app config variable
      that was use to disable cron triggers in unit tests in favor of
      the new config option
    * Other minor style changes

    Closes-bug: #1724147
