This is a very simple module that incorporates the logic for calculating
the time of the next scheduled checkpoint given the configured interval
between checkpoints. It doesn't have any dependencies, which allows to
cover it with a unit test. It will be used by the checkpoint daemon once
we rewrite it in C. Rationale: in future we might want to introduce more
complex rules for scheduling checkpoints (cron-like may be) and it will
be really nice to have this logic neatly separated and tested.
