[Seaside] Running a method periodically on a Seaside site

[Esteban Maringolo]

I did this to collect some data and report it daily (by mail, etc.)
and also every 5' to feed other services.

What I did was to use a cron task that ran Pharo that called a simple
script such as follows:

```
NonInteractiveTranscript stdout install.
ProviderDailyNotificator runForTheLastWeek.
Smalltalk quitPrimitive.
```

The output was sent to a log file as well.

All the logic of whether to retry notifications etc. was handled by
the `ProviderDailyNotificator` class.

Regards,

Esteban A. Maringolo
