Description

For Overpass-based challenges, let the user define if and how often the query should automatically be re-run to update the tasks.

The use case for this is that some tasks will get fixed outside of MapRoulette, and this should be reflected in MapRoulette to avoid too many 'already fixed' tasks.

Broke out from #68

Research direction

Start by tracing how Overpass-based challenges run queries and how their tasks are updated. Determine where a user-defined re-query schedule and frequency would be represented and processed. Done means scheduled re-runs update tasks so work completed outside MapRoulette is reflected without manual intervention.
