 Add a configuration page (admin only) for the actions to be performed by
 wp-cron. This page will let users view these actions as well as remove
 them.

 This is necessary because I've noticed some plugins ("Cronless Postie",
 for example) starting to use the wp-cron functions, but not removing their
 wp-cron jobs when the plugins are disabled. While this is a problem with
 these plugins, to be sure, there is currently no way to disable or remove
 a "rogue" wp-cron job that a plugin scheduled but never unscheduled.

 In extreme cases, activating and deactivating a plugin repeatedly can
 cause multiple repeating jobs to be inserted into the wp-cron job list,
 causing excessive load when it tries to run these jobs multiple times.
 This can kill a site and use a lot of bandwidth for no reason that is
 obvious to the user or the host, making them blame Wordpress for "being
 slow" and such. Visibility of the wp-cron job actions would provide a way
 to fix this as well as point out the likely source of the bad plugin.
