Ensure scheduler reconnects to the database if connection fails

Registered by Michael Hudson-Doyle

Partly so we can start the job via upstart (i.e. before we know the db is up) we need to change the scheduler to continually attempt to reconnect to the db if the connection fails.

Whiteboard

Headline: The LAVA Scheduler can now start reliably using upstart when the system is booted.

Acceptance: Upstart job can automatically start the scheduler and the scheduler will try to connect to the db until it comes up, rather than fail if it races and tries to start before the database.
