David Harrigan fb650dd8cd A new plugin to allow SCP config backups to a remote host.

This simple plugin takes a few parameters, such as hostname and username and
schedules a cron job to remotely scp the config.xml file at regular intervals.
It uses the public/private keypair of the built-in root user as the source of
the key exchange. This means that the public key must be copied to the remote
host and added to the authorized_keys file (for the defined user).

The remote file is backed up as `config-YYYY-DD-MM-HH-MM.xml`, for example:
`config-2018-01-02-15-40.xml`. It's possible to change the remote location of
where the config file is backed up to.

The cron job can be modified under System/Settings/Cron and the schedule
adjusted to suit the backup frequency requirements.
