 * Holds the {@link ScheduledExecutorService} for running all background tasks in Jenkins.
 * This ExecutorService will create additional threads to execute due (enabled) tasks.
 *
 * Provides a minimal abstraction for locating the ScheduledExecutorService so that we
 * can modify it's behavior going forward. For instance, to add manageability/monitoring.
 *
 * This is not an @Extension because it must be available before any extensions are loaded.
 *
 * Plugins should probably use one of the following as they provide higher level abstractions:
 *   {@link hudson.model.AperiodicWork}, {@link hudson.model.PeriodicWork},
 *   {@link hudson.model.AsyncAperiodicWork}, {@link hudson.model.AsyncPeriodicWork}.
