Add some jitter (10% by default) to scanner plugin periods. This should help avoid a "thundering heard" effect on the cluster if plugins are set up to start at the same time on all the cluster nodes. Jitter is configurable per-plugin. Config format is `$num_percent` or `$num_$timeunit`. The `$num_percent` format configures the maximum jitter value as a period percentage. For example 10% of `period = 24_hours` would be 2.4 hours. The `$num_$timeunit` is the same format as a period itself, so it can take values like `5_min`, `2_hours`, etc.
