From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The get_random_minute() method was created to allow maintenance
schedules to be fixed to a random minute of the hour. This randomness is
only intended to spread out the load from a number of clients, but each
client should have an hour between each maintenance cycle.

Use get_random_minute() when constructing the schedules for launchctl.

The format already includes a 'Minute' key which is modified from 0 to
the random minute.
