Moving the daily apt timeout after the APT::Periodic::Enable check

Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with apt 1.3~exp1 and I'm noticing that /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat does set the random timeout and keeping the related processes that time open before the check for APT::Periodic::Enable is done in /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily. Since the timeout exists to prevent all the users to stress the servers at the same time but an user might have disabled the periodic job with APT::Periodic::Enable I think it would be better if setting the timeout would be moved from /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat to /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily at a suitable place somewhere after the APT::Periodic::Enable check.
