While testing the new system on the x64 collector, I ran into some panics caused by missing API keys that I did not configure. I realized that in the case of panic, the cron job would stop, but the website would happily chug along. That's not really ideal.
The rustc-perf codebase uses unwraps and panics on a bunch of places, and thus panics can sometime happen, e.g. from transient network or DB errors. This PR thus pre-emptively guards against the panics by restarting the job queue handler cron job when it panics.
Special care is taken to avoid a "panic loop", where we would restart the task and it would immediately panic again.
