Scheduled Content Management

Pulp has the ability to schedule content unit installs, updates, and uninstalls on a given consumer. The schedules can be created, manipulated, and queried with with the following APIs.

Note that all schedule resources are in the format described in Scheduled Tasks.

For each request, <action> should be one of install, update, or uninstall.
