SchedEx schedules jobs (either an m,f,a or a function) to run in the future. These jobs are run in isolated processes, and are unsurpervised.

Runs the given module, function and argument in given number of units (this
corresponds to milliseconds unless a custom `time_scale` is specified). Any
values in the arguments array which are equal to the magic symbol `:sched_ex_scheduled_time`
are replaced with the scheduled execution time for each invocation
Supports the following options:
* `repeat`: Whether or not this job should be recurring
* `start_time`: A `DateTime` to use as the basis to offset from
* `time_scale`: A module that implements the `SchedEx.TimeScale` behaviour, by
default is set to `SchedEx.IdentityTimeScale`. Can be used to speed up time
(often used for speeding up test runs)
* `name`: To attach a name to the process. Useful for adding a name to Registry
to lookup later. ie. {:via, Registry, {YourRegistryName, "scheduled-task-1"}}

Returns stats on the given job. Stats are returned for:
* `scheduling_delay`: The delay between when the job was scheduled to execute, and the time
it actually was executed. Based on the quantized scheduled start, and so does not include quantization error. Value specified in microseconds.
* `quantization_error`: Erlang is only capable of scheduling future calls with millisecond precision, so there is some
inevitable precision lost between when the job would be scheduled in a perfect world, and how well Erlang is able to
schedule the job (ie: to the closest millisecond). This error value captures that difference. Value specified in microseconds.
* `execution_time`: The amount of time the job spent executing. Value specified in microseconds.
