$installdefs parameter `schedulers` in manifest.php is not respected as documented while installing a module

[isleshocky77]

Issue

The documentation Module Installer states that there is a key for schedulers which would be

An array of schedulers to be installed. Each entry is an array with a single key:

This means that these should be copied to the schedulers directory.

However, in practice, this functionality does not work.

If you look at the $manifestMap in ModuleInstall/ModuleScanner.php:51 as well $tasks ModuleInstall/ModuleInstaller.php:123 you'll see there isn't actually a definition for schedulers or a install_schedulers task.

The work around for this is you need to use the copy key like such

    'copy' => [
        [
            'from' => '<basepath>/schedulers/CustomModule.php',
            'to' => 'custom/Extension/modules/Schedulers/Ext/ScheduledTasks/CustomModule.php',
        ],
    ],

Expected Behavior

When installing a custom module with a manifest.php file that has a key for schedulers, it should install the Scheduler. as documented.

Actual Behavior

The key schedulers key in manifest is just ignored.

Possible Fix

Add the correct functionality to ModuleInstall/ModuleScanner.php:51 and ModuleInstall/ModuleInstaller.php:123

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Custom module
2. Update the manifest.php to have an array with a key of schedulers
3. Create in the module a Scheduler
4. Install the custom module through Module Loader
5. Look at scheduled jobs

Context

The documentation is wrong and takes a bit of debugging to figure out. You then need to use the copy key instead of a cleaner schedulers key for what is actually going on.

I just saw this as I am trying, too, to work out how to create scheduled jobs with MINIMAL follow ups required by the admin of a site.

As developers (I am creating a couple of modules one of which implements a caldav server) I should be able to create a number of scheduler jobs (e.g. once a day at 1am or every 15minutes) without ANY setup required by an admin.

The Module documentation explains how to do this, the code however does not implement what is explained in the documention (running the LATEST 7.14.6)
