feat(system): add cron

[nhammond101]

Adds new functionality to generate cron expressions.

New Function:

• faker.system.cron()

Usage:

faker.system.cron():

// generates a random cron expression
console.log(faker.system.cron()): // '45 23 * * 6'

supports an optional options object, which currently has a year component

// generates a random cron expression with a year
console.log(faker.system.cron()): // '45 23 * * 6 2067'

Unit tests for the functions added.

Targeting it for v6.3, but I don't think it will make it so fast
We plan to work on v7 in next "sprint"

[Shinigami92]

Should we also try to generate some more advanced cron strings like 23 0-20/2 * * *?

[ST-DDT]

Should we add some range for the cron: E.g. yearly, daily, ... (nothing precise, just some generaly direction)

i'd like to, I wanted to get the simplest expressions generated first and potentially gauge demand

[Shinigami92]

This PR needs to update their test but we found out that to many other stuff not related to this PR within the test file is messed up
So it will not be merged in v7.0.0

[ST-DDT]

@nhammond101 Could you please update this PR?

[ST-DDT]

I think these are the last things that needs to be changed.
Otherwise it looks good to me.

[Shinigami92]

I would have solved it differently and maybe more readably, but my case/request are tackled and solved 👍

@Shinigami92 if you get a few minutes, would you post your approach?
