More options for Convert job creation

[Q-Droid 856]

In the context of creating a Convert job at the Library/Folder/Series level:

1. Add the option to begin immediately or follow the scheduled task.

2. In addition to "Automatically convert new content" present an option to convert or ignore existing content.

In effect the ability to create a job that only converts new media or existing or both along with an immediate or delayed start time.

Well, an immediate or scheduled start time.  ...as in a time of day.  The "every x minutes/hours" scheduling currently in scheduled tasks is the biggest weakness of that part of the U/I.

The scheduled tasks allow for interval, time of day (daily), day of week (with start time) and combinations of multiple triggers defined. Though right now custom defined tasks are not an option which would be nice.

I would suggest exploring scheduled task scheduling options.
