Make rescheduling a job more predictable
This avoids race conditions between calls to cancel() and jobs that like
to be rescheduled. If jobs were able to reschedule themselves it would
theoretically be possible that two worker threads have the same job
assigned (the one currently executing the job and the one executing the
same but rescheduled job if it already is time to execute it), this means
that cancel() could be called twice for that job.
Creating a new job based on the current one and reschedule that is also
OK, but rescheduling itself is more efficient for jobs that need to be
executed often.
